| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA film geared for those who can't get enough of geek angst, PC's, and cappuccino into their system... |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphAbout five years behind schedule in anticipating and satirizing the stranglehold computer developers wield over the technology industry. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis wannabe thriller about the new techno industry is a misfire. |
| Filmcritic.comMax MessierIt's actually a surprisingly apt think piece about corporate power vs. open source. |
| Village VoiceDennis LimIt's a kick to see the Tim Robbins version of the man recently described by the Microsoft trial judge as "Napoleonic" installed in a disgustingly opulent Bond-villain HQ/pad, and the overwrought Boiler Room-meets-The Game scenario is not without its own schlocky pleasures. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumWhile Robbins has a good time playing the boyish devil, the rest of the principals transmit on an awfully low baud rate. |
| ComingSoon.netScott ChitwoodIf you're going to market this film to computer geeks, at least throw something in they can respect. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenSucceeds in making its portentous meaning more than reasonably entertaining. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonPassably entertaining in spots, but doomed by its bungling of the thriller elements. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyNever a dull moment, well paced and suspenseful to the end. |
