Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Orlando (Kevin Dillon) first goes to work, there is a small poster hanging next to his locker that says, "There's no place like 127.0.0.1". This is a joke among techies, translated to "There's no place like home."
It is a reference to two items: an 18th century poem, "Home Sweet Home" and the more obviously recognizable line from the Wizard of Oz.
127.0.0.1, in layman's terms, means "this computer", or in relation to the joke, "home".
- GoofsCharacter Orlando Friar receives an instant message dated Feb 28th when the movie is taking place during the winter holidays.

Featured review
Can't write anything good about this
I give this film 2 stars for getting enough money or blackmail to compel some name actors into doing this film. I wonder if Britney Spears paid so she could cast her boyfriend, now husband, in this film. As someone else says, he laughingly acts his ass off, showing how much "chops" he has as an actor so he can be the most memorable, useless character of all with just a few minutes screen time. A dull tool.
That about explains this movie about a hacker, which has a story that couldn't even be sold 20 years ago to seniors who know almost nothing about computers and hacking. I couldn't stop laughing when Mel Gibson tries to sell something about a "DOS attack" as if it mmakes much sense in the context of this loser. Kevin Dillon, who has done some decent work, is given the hopeless task of carrying this film along with Gibson, who comes in from time to time to provide the cop shtick and he does what he can to try to sound credible. It works about half the time, the rest he's almost dialed in, brain gain. Shannon Doherty barely shows, barks orders like the police captain she is, perhaps just trying to remain relevant in film while she has unfortunately gone through her own health hell.
In the end, the villain is a laughable, non-stop babbling buffoon. If you're not watching this on a streaming where you can skip parts, you'll be in constant pain as there is little reason to want to stay for the journey since it's completely unconvincing. This is "bad Bruce Willis movie" level bad. Perhaps they needed the money. Owed a favor. I don't know but those must have been some really awful pictures the director and writers must have on the stars in this film.
