Fatal Error

I expected this film from an American television production to be nothing special, but this is really a bit too much. Perhaps the only thing that makes the film interesting is the somewhat strange subject of a computer virus that affects a living human organism. This idea is neatly wrapped in a package with a huge label: CLICHE! If I had turned it off halfway and gone to bed with the assumption of how it would end, I would have done better because I guessed it perfectly. That I should have expected this? Yes, I was expecting it, but deep down, I was hoping it would turn out differently than I assumed. The protagonists are as boring and dull as two stakes in a fence. Moreover, the script puts even more awkward dialogue in their mouths. Their characters are like something out of a textbook: What character actors shouldn't be like today. Perhaps it would be better to stop cursing the movie and also scold myself for watching it even though I essentially knew what was going to happen. To that there is only one thing left to say: I deserved that... (19/02/2005)
