An out of control computer develops its own intelligence to figure out what's best for mankind (read Americans).
If it weren't for the good editing and pretty/handsome actors, I would have rated this film less.
Once again we have the idea that some computer becomes smart enough to countermand the efforts of proper thinking Americans. It simply is unbelievable. Not the technology aspect, but the fact that we all know Americans are simply not that smart, and were they to stumble upon computer code that would allow them to be that smart (and invasive) would certainly not turn it off for the betterment of mankind.
So it rates high on the unbelievability scale, low on the drama scale, and is more apt to be called a good Monday night TV drama, not unlike the series 24, but certainly not anything more.
