3.0 out of 5 stars DEADLY VIRUS, February 29, 2004

This review is from: Fatal Error (DVD)

This film is based on a book by Ben Mezrich called "Reaper." As with the film, I found its biggest flaw is the credibility of a computer virus being able to kill humans. Neither the book nor the movie explains just how this deadly computer bug is able to do what it does to humans.
On the whole, the movie version is faithful to the book and offers some adequate chills, especially when the virus takes its effects. Antonio Sabato, wearing more than his usual underwear ads, is effective, although not quite impassioned enough; Janine Turner bats her eyes well, but doesn't seem to have the heart of a true virus hunter; Robert Wagner plays a sleazy villain quite well; and Armand Mastroianni's direction is well paced.
Not a great film, but it does have its moments and makes you wonder how far we can go with computers?

This movie is a sci-fi murder mystery where a former doctor and an F.B.I. agent join forces to find out how people are being turned to stone only to find out there is a much bigger threat to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars A High-Tech Thriller, September 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Fatal Error (DVD)

An extremly high-tech computer virus terrorizes a community by turning electrical devices into weapons with a mind of their own. If you've seen and enjoyed movies like "Pulse" and "Ghost in the Machine" then you should enjoy this one.
