I.T. is an average thriller mechanically coated in a veneer of shiny technology, like the newest phone on a factory line. That’s not to say it doesn’t work, but its take on the new world order led by Apple, Google and Facebook will definitely play better with people who remain skeptical of our always-connected world.
If you’ve ever called your kid because you can’t remember your log-in password; if you check out as a “guest” when buying something online because you don’t want Amazon to have your credit card info; if your initial reaction to every scrap of new technology ranges from skepticism to 24-hour-news-cycle-fueled paranoia; I.T. might be for you -- as long as you like Pierce Brosnan, too. Then again, who doesn’t?
Directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, A Good Day to Die Hard, Max Payne), I.T. stars Brosnan as rich white business guy Mike Regan, along with Anna Friel (Chuck from Pushing Daisies) and Stefanie Scott as his rich white wife and daughter, respectively. James Frecheville plays the eponymous nerdy-but-handsome I.T. guy, a significantly more murderous version of the main character from Silicon Valley.
I.T. has moments of real tension interspersed throughout, but its consistent theme -- that you can’t trust technology because a bad guy might use it against you -- is a little bit silly. How did anyone make thrillers before Facebook?
