This movie has it's pros and cons. Even though it's a Cop movie, I like it. It builds up suspense and makes you question the motives of every character that isn't Morgan Freeman. On the other hand, the plot is over-the-top silly and contains some of the most unrealistic modern-day computer software I've ever seen in a movie. There are also 3 or 4 decent action scenes that are awesome.

When it's good, it's pretty good. But when it's bad, you'll be rolling your eyes and saying 'Cummon!' For example, the villain kidnaps one child in a bizarre scheme to kidnap a second child, who's kidnapping will lead the villain into infamy, Lindberg-style. It doesn't make very much sense, but it's definitely original. The script-writers could've used somebody that has actually used "that magic-box" (a computer) before, as well as somebody to plug up the plotholes. But the twists are unexpected, and you'll want to rewatch the movie to follow the underlying plot. It's a good mystery, and I would recommend it to anybody who isn't a Morgan Freeman fan. (I'm not.)
