Even though the movie deals with computers, the Internet and so on, it still is an exciting thriller for those people that don't like or are familiar with high-tech stuff (you don't have to be a mass-murdered to like "Se7en" either).
I heard about this story a few years ago, when Kevin Mitnick was arrested, but I had no idea that a movie had been made about it. When someone suggested to rent it in the video-store, I didn't quite know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised!
It is more serious than "The Net" which is somewhat unreal because I still can't see Sandra Bullock as a hard-core computer-nerd, and better than "Hackers" which is too much focussed on teenagers.
So, if you'd like to see a good thriller without bloodshed: see "Takedown".
