I’ve read a lot of Tom Clancy bookds and seen his movies…this is really a travesty…a poor premise/plot, a clunky use of technology throughout, just a sad, sad excuse for a movie. By the way, I really have begun to dislike Scott Pakula as an actor, he’s not too smart and in my mind has screwed up Enterprise … he does an equally lame job here

I, like many others, have been drawn to Clancy books since reading “The Hunt for Red October.” However, I’ve been cautious to stay away from books called, “Tom Clancy’s ______.” Despite having some Clancyesque plot lines and subject matter, these books never quite capture the intracies or intelligence of his other works, not to mention that most of these books were not written by Clancy. You can almost describe them as Clancy-lite.

When I first saw NetForce at HMV, a little voice inside me kept screaming caveats, but I was clearly too deaf to listen. I actually paid FULL price for NetForce rather than order it from Buy.com.

I should have listened to myself. This film is aweful. Scott Bakula is barely competent, but even so he does not seem to move beyond his Sam Beckett character from Quantum Leap. Rhodes Scholar Kris Kristofferson is actually good, although the absurdity of his character transcends belief. Everyone else, Brian Dennehy included, is relatively nondescript and blend seemlessly into the bland background. A few token scenic shots of Washington, DC kept me awake, but in whole this film is to be avoided.

It is even more sad that Clancy would even allow his name to be associated with this project. To think that the same man who brought us “Hunt for Red October” can be reduced to “NetForce.”

I think that Tom Clancy’s books are much better than their films. And this is again true in this movie. As a miniseries is very good and you will sure have a good time if you like this kind of action movie.

For those interested in the spanish subtitles of this DVD, I can tell you that they do not work properly. There is a 10 to 12 second delay between their english pronunciation and the appearance of the corresponding subtitles on screen. It does not sound like much, but 10 seconds in a movie is a long time, and completely destroys your understanding and enjoyment of the film.

I can not understand why some DVD producers disregard the importance of good quality second language subtitles or dubbing as in this case, if the USA and Canadian market have so many spanish speaking and french speaking people.
