Pierce Brosnan lacks the requisite Neeson-like conviction for this blundering conspiracy caper
A techno-thriller for people a bit intimidated by their smartphone, I.T. is a dull-witted movie that pits Pierce Brosnan’s millionaire businessman Mike Regan against troubled computer genius Patrick (Jason Barry). When Patrick is rebuffed by Regan’s daughter, he turns the family’s hi-tech house against them. Brosnan lacks the conviction of Liam Neeson when it comes to the middle-aged badass genre.

Pierce Brosnan plays a Michael O’Leary-like businessman with a gadget-filled pad who gets more tech support than he bargained for in this silly, dull squeaker
An interesting premise but not much more to this ho-hum home invasion thriller, written by Dan Kay and directed by John Moore (who gave us the entertaining Gene Hackman/Owen Wilson actioner Behind Enemy Lines). Pierce Brosnan stars as wealthy Irish mogul Mike Regan, who leases private jets: Brosnan plays him brash, with maybe a touch of Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary. Regan is devoted to his lovely wife and daughter, played by Anna Friel and Stefanie Scott, but he’s over-leveraged the business and has secret money troubles. So Mike’s hugely grateful when a young It guy on his staff, Ed (James Frecheville) saves his ass by fixing a computer glitch that had threatened to wreck a vital presentation. He invites Ed to his “smart” designer home,...

When his daughter complains about their home’s dodgy Internet connection, high-flying executive Mike Regan (Pierce Brosnan) brings in I.T. guy Ed (James Frecheville). Overestimating the breadth of their friendship – by assuming that they have one – the spurned tech guy turns stalker, using his computer skills to infiltrate and attack the family on every level. They’re gonna need a better firewall.
It may have a grizzled, craggy former James Bond as the lead, but this is no Taken riff. In spite of its ultra high-tech trappings, I.T. is a remarkably old-fashioned stalker movie, reminiscent of the likes of Prey, Pacific Heights, One Hour Photo or, um, The Cable Guy. It’s the sort of thing you might see Nicolas Cage...

A Good Day to Die Hard director John Moore is back with a predictably dull tech thriller which manages to underwhelm rather than thrill. This psychological drama which stars Pierce Brosnan and Anna Friel – yet despite the cast’s best efforts, I.T falls short of providing any kind of hook and ultimately fails to keep the audience on its side for long enough for anyone to care about what is happening on screen as the narrative unfolds.
Sounding more Irish and looking more menacing than usual, Brosnan is Mike Regan, a self-made aviation millionaire planning to expand his empire by launching an Uber-style app for private jets. Regan seems to have it all, a dutiful wife (Anna Friel), a beautiful teenage daughter (Stefanie Scott) and a modern state-of-the-art smart home with all mod cons. However, things start to go terribly wrong when the firm’s I.

I.T. is one of those VOD sleepers you expect absolutely nothing from, yet – in the most base-value sense – John Moore’s creepy tech-driven thriller gets the job done. Scenes may feel like a tutorial in suspense and predictable plot movement, but Pierce Brosnan is just too damn smooth to ignore (like that matured, smokey Scotch he’s sipping on above).
Age hasn’t dampened this ex-Bond stud’s charms in the least, and he works well as a billionaire family man who turns primal when some jabroni threatens the ones he loves. Admittedly, you won’t be challenged by material here, but minimal genre satiation is achieved through “Peeping Tom” surveillance and satirical warnings directed towards our own internet-obsessed lifestyles.
Hey, not everything can be a five-star experience – there’s a time and place for a Burger King quickie.

Since nowadays we can’t go two seconds without checking our cell phones and everyone seems to be spending enormous amounts of time online, cautionary tales about our overdependence on technology have suddenly become all the rage. I.T. is the latest, very modest entry into this little subgenre. Mike Regan (Pierce Brosnan in full “rich bastard” mode) is an aviation tycoon living in an inmaculate, top-of-the-line smart house with wife Rose (a wasted Anna Friel) and daughter Kaitlyn (Stefanie Scott). He has it all, until he makes the mistake of inviting over his company’s weird I.T. guy Ed Porter (James Frecheville), in appreciation for saving his behind during a work presentation. Ed, of course, is a loon with a few screws loose and pretty soon he...

Not to be confused with Stephen King’s horror masterclass, the first trailer for John Moore’s techno-thriller I.T. has booted online.
Arriving to us via Yahoo Movies, the slick and striking sizzle reel places Pierce Brosnan in the shoes of well-to-do businessman Mike Regan, one comfortably at the top of his game with more money than sense. Housed up in his own futuristic version of Fort Knox, Regan’s home is ripped straight from a George Orwell novel, with scores of cameras and smart devices littering all four corners of this ultra-modern abode.
Enter Ed. He’s an unremarkable technician who is given unprecedented access into Regan’s family life after lending his CEO a helping hand when a board meeting goes south. But in true action-thriller fashion, I.T. devolves into a spat between Ed and Regan, with the former launching a full-scale digital attack on Pierce Brosnan’s hapless family man.

"Change everything – passwords, codes – secure this place!" Another one of these. Rlj Entertainment has released the first official trailer for a film called I.T. (already a boring title), a technology thriller about a successful business owner whose life is sabotaged by a mentally deranged It guy. Pierce Brosnan stars, along with James Frecheville, Anna Friel, Stefanie Scott, Michael Nyqvist, and Jason Barry. This is yet another fear-mongering "technology is scary!" movies, where it seems like the people behind it don't even actually understand how most of this technology works. Of course the It guy is creepy, and of course this is from the same guy who made A Good Day to Die Hard. I don't recommend it, only if you're curious. Here's the first official trailer (+ teaser poster) for John Moore's I.T., originally from Yahoo: Mike Regan has everything he could ever want, a beautiful family and a top of the line smart house.
