This past weekend my wife and I rented a flick, The Net 2.0, which was an action packed identity theft thriller.

An Intense Plot — Just The Way I Like It!

The story featured a young woman who was a computer programmer/analyst hired to work in Istanbul, Turkey. When she arrives she finds out that her credit cards are missing, her name changed, her very identity stolen. It turns out she was a pawn in a plot to foil the theft of $14 million from Russian arms dealers. Interpol and the Turkish police were involved in quashing the scam, but not before several people were murdered and the young woman was embroiled in a nightmare we can only hope that we never experience. The movie was a sequel to the 1995 thriller, The Net.

Nice scenery and a good use of imagery using Istanbul as the back drop. Once Constantinople, the city was over run by the Ottoman Turks and renamed Istanbul. Think “Old Europe” when you watch the flick.

Okay, enough of my getting away from the whole writing genre. Oh, yes, we recently saw Flight Plan and Red Eye. I thought Flight Plan was lame, but I liked Red Eye.
