There is a great political joke here, but I'm censoring myself here for the sake that I'd like to keep my perfect never-been-banned record.

Thought it was pretty damn entertaining. Makes you wonder about the rapidly advancing technology when they will actually be able to do some of this stuff.

really, really, REALLY over the top ridiculous movie, but entertaining enough. with the big twist I wasn't that blown away (just seen that whole idea played out too many times now) but it didn't matter.

although I did groan at the end. could have been a relatively ballsy ending and it went soft.

solid leave your brain at the door popcorn flick though.

I was surprisingly disappointed by this movie. Entertaining, yes. But a movie I will add to my collection, no.

I find Shia very attractive, so that was fun to watch.

I thought the action scenes were a bit over the top, but whatev. Plus, the X-Files already did 2 episodes about
computers gaining artifical intelligence
so it left me kind of a blahh-already-done-that type feeling.

Recently watched it. Thought it was okay. I'll give it credit for keeping the action going from start to finish.

Saw this at IMDB. I wonder how true it is.
Shia LaBeouf stated that during filming an F.B.I. Agent told him and the cast that 1 in every 5 phone calls someone makes is recorded. To prove this, the agent had him listen to a phone call he made 2 years prior to filming.

On a side note, what ever happened to Ethan Embry? He had that great part in Can't Hardly Wait back in '98 and he's done nothing but junk since.

I just watched this again. I haven't seen this movie in years, basically when it was in theaters. Holy crap! I forgot all about how action packed it was. Really enjoyed it again.
