Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

"The hottest sex, the coolest technology, the most extreme adventure you've ever experienced. Anything's possible in SHOCK, the ultimate reality challenge," according to the DVD sleeve description, "America's best player is being pulled in to the ultimate cyber-terror. The game's mastermind has stolen his identity, put him on the FBI's most wanted list, and is blackmailing him to take part in a REAL twisted plan of world destruction. With just hours left, can the code be broken to save the world from total annihilation?" The above synopsis is accurate, but the first sentence is extremely misleading.Chances are very good you will find neither the "coolest technology" nor the "extreme adventure" promised. As for the "hottest sex," forget it. There is, actually NO SEX in "Storm Watch" which was re-titled "Virtual Storm" then "Code Hunter" (the title, at least, keeps getting better). The cast is very good looking, especially lead actor Nick Cornish (as Nick Chase) and his main female co-star Vanessa Marcil (as Tess Woodward); really, they look more like models than computer geek and lady reporter.It's nice to see heroic "Highlander" star Adrian Paul (as "Neville") as the story's main villain, but his "AI" character dies on the vine. Wearing a succession of neon wigs, Bai Ling (as "Skylar") also drifts into irreverence. Tone-Loc and Coolio play non-musical roles. Of the others, programmer Scott Rinker (as Mason Neville Kemeny) is nicely cast and essays his characterization well. Bit player Adam Lieberman is outstanding as the hotel clerk. As company leader Richard Cox (as Richard Clark) says, "The proof is in the pudding." *** Code Hunter (5/1/02) Terry Cunningham ~ Nick Cornish, Vanessa Marcil, Adrian Paul, Scott Rinker

Code hunter was really OK.No Bad acting to speak of,no outstanding acting either,decent special effects and editing.The Story was good enough to keep me watching and the writing was fine.In a nut shell this is a cyber espionage story..with a few twists.I liked Adrian Paul and he is OK in this,but he and Bai Ling were much better in that Vampire movie they did together.Still worth a watch in the Dollar rental section.If you want to buy it..look for it in the discount bin,it is where it belongs.

Really, where do they get the money to make rubbish like this? Suitable for (mental) ages 3-7 only. Plot and acting plumb the depths of the abysmal. Yet again a "computer" movie tries to pretend it is aware of what computers are about, one look at the scenes of 'fingers typing real damn fast on a keyboard' are enough to convince you that there must be better things to do with your life than waste 100 minutes or so on this cr*p.

Some time ago i started to consider the quality of a movie only by my own judgement; then i decided that for me a movie will be a MOVIE only if i'd feel like experiencing something new through it.And this one really got me in. So, i'd give it a 9.
