this film is supposed to be a thriller, why am i saying it's supposed to be a thriller? the fact that it was branded as a thriller, but there's not that thrilling.

the movie is a bout a deranged computer whiz who's set up a website where he kills people with the aid of other people visiting his website. sounds like an episode of millenium, huh? diane lane plays a single mom working as an agent for the FBI in the computer crimes division. she's on the graveyard shift because of her daughter. she spotted this website killwithme.com (which is a working website that redirects you to the movie's promotio0nal game) where a cat is webcast and is left to die of starvation. the website eventually featured human beings to die in some geeky way. like injecting coagulants, death by heat lamps, and making a victim sit in a tank of water but would eventually turn into acid as the number of hits the website receives.

whenever there's this movie involving computer stuff and all it would be a given that the antagonist is some techno prodigy with a psychiatric problem, this movie is not any different from it all. parang iisa lang yung dating nung mga kontrabida na techno geek. buti na lang at hindi world domination ang trip ng kontrabida sa pelikulang ito kundi nagmukhang die hard 4, hehehhe.
