Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

jonathanmark-77048 Plot: Terry works for a bank, and uses computers to communicate with clients all over the world. One day she gets a coded message from an unknown source. After decoding the message, Terry becomes embroiled in an espionage ring. People are killed, and Terry is chased. Throughout she remains in contact with this unknown person, who needs Terry to help save his life.This is easily my favorite Whoopi Goldberg film, it has the best story that is very interesting and very well told by director Penny Marshall. Each character is interesting in their own ways. Every actor does their character justice and serve their purpose to the story.The film is well paced, never boring, and is unpredictable. If only comedies these days would be more like this, then they would be a lot easier to sit through. If you can find this film give it a chance, it's definitely worth it.

SnoopyStyle Single Terry Doolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) works for a Manhattan bank transferring money through a computer. Her co-worker Cynthia (Carol Kane) tries to set her up. Her boss warns her to stop online chatting with the clients. Then she gets a message from an unknown user named Jumping Jack Flash who pulls her into the world of espionage. Marty Phillips (Stephen Collins) is a new co-worker. She is taken by mystery man (Jim Belushi) but she escapes.One of the problems is that typing on a computer is not that thrilling. It's a problem that most modern movies alleviate by adding in a lot of flash. Eventually, there is a computerized voice but it's not that compelling. The most memorable images from this movie is Whoopi's Harry Potter outfit and dancing to the Stones. This is a thriller but it's not that thrilling. I keep thinking that Terry should simply call the FBI. Terry is interviewed by an idiot cop which is suppose to mean she can't call the authorities anymore. Whoopi tries to be funny but there are no laughs. She is an energetic center in a story without tension or good jokes. It's just blah.

bettylewben Just recently caught the movie again on TV. While it still contained some great laughs, it also contained a very strong portrait of an African American woman that I never saw back when the movie first came out. Think about it--She's a computer operator, one of the first to be shown on screen "chatting" and skilled in hardware and software. She's gutsy, doesn't need a man to help her. She's independent, strong, and beautiful but not in a typical way. She's not a rock emotionally. You feel for here as she waits at the restaurant for Jack. You can feel the caring she shows for her friends, co-workers She still gets the man--a white man!-- in the end, at least that's the implication. All of this in 1986! This new perspective for the movie has certainly lifted it above all the dated material (Annie Potts' hair, the computer terminals) What a statement! Go Terr-eee!

Steve Myers I have to admit to liking this film. I'm not sure or not how well it did on its release. I don't think there are any spoilers in revealing that Whoopi plays a computer genius who is contacted by a guy who needs her help (since it says so on the back of the DVD!). So as well as a comedy, there are some thrills thrown in as well.It's well written, with some pretty obvious stuff in there, but it makes it kind of fun. Whoopi Goldberg puts in a good performance. Today it's fun to watch because the computers are SO out of date and because at one point Whoopi hits about 40 keyboard keys to type the work 'Hi"! Just listen to the sound of the keys. Whoopi's a good actress and comedian, but she's no typist - at least by the evidence here. And it's good to see Carol Kane and Stephen Collins, who both look about 12.There are some fabulous continuity errors as well for anyone looking for them - in the scene in the police station, not only does the blanket Whoopi's wearing change places from scene to scene, so does her collar.If you want a fun film that won't stretch your brain, this is well worth a look. Ingmar Bergman it isn't, but it's a nice feel good movie for those times when you just want to sit down and turn your brain off it's great. And if you want to know what computers used to look like and why you practically needed a second mortgage for somewhere to store them look no further.
