Description
Mike Regan is a successful, self-made man who has it all: a gorgeous wife, a beautiful teenage daughter and a sleek, state-of-the-art “smart home”. But he soon finds himself in a deadly, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse when his I.T. consultant, Ed, starts using his skills to stalk Mike’s daughter and endanger his family, his business, and his life. In a world where there is no privacy, and personal secrets can go viral by the click of a mouse, Mike needs to rely on his old connections to defeat a new kind of nemesis.

Key opinion
I.T. is widely regarded as a generic and implausible tech-thriller that fails to capitalize on its timely premise regarding smart-home vulnerability and digital privacy. While some viewers find it a watchable, one-time distraction, the majority of critics and audiences criticize its weak script, sterile direction, and lack of genuine tension.
| Screenplay | The screenplay relies on tired cliches and fails to ground the hacker's godlike capabilities in a realistic or engaging narrative. | |
| Direction | Director John Moore provides a sterile, unmemorable aesthetic that fails to generate necessary tension or dynamism throughout the film. | |
| Theme | The film attempts to explore relevant themes of digital surveillance and privacy but does so with a superficiality that leaves the central conflicts feeling unearned. | |
| Acting | Pierce Brosnan's performance is divisive; while some viewers find him an anchoring, ironic presence, others question the believability of his character's decisions. |
