It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Geez, couldn't they find a competent technical expert who knows at least SOMETHING about computers when they make a computer movie? I could find a 12 year-old who could have fixed the zillions of plot holes. One of these days Hollywood writers will learn that SILICONE was in breast implants, not computer chips (it's SILICON, stupid!) And the "computer" company headquarters building with a box office (I guess they sell tickets for tours!) Rutger Hauer (who looks HORRIBLE in this movie - who dressed him?) should ask any fourth grader about how many bytes there are in a megabyte (1,048,576 bytes, not 144,000.) I've never seen a movie use so much ammo without hitting anyone! And I guess the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg does not have CLASS (Custom Local Area Signalling Services) with caller ID and call trace. I'll never figure why anyone would have spent money to make such dreck. Insipid, inane, stupid, oh, let me count the adjectives! (by the way - which police department keeps booze in the fridge for everyone to nip at? And where is this hetero rubber/leather dance club in Silicon Valley?) This now tops my list of awful movies - yes, even worse than U.S. SEALS!

As always when Rutger Hauer participates in a movie, I had high hopes for a classic hauer movie. This movie did not deliver at all. The plot about the ultimate encryption software, supposedly worth millions were really thin. Andrew McCarthy plays the villain and Rutger Hauer teams up with Tara Fitzgerald in the hunt for him. After a while the hunter becomes the huntee as they stumble over the program that McCarthy is on a quest to get.McCarthy doesn't really suit to play the bad guy, he is a good actor, but he doesn't have the ability to elevate movies like this(who does).Rutger Hauer has gained a few pounds since Bone Daddy, and the flirt he has going with the cute Fitzgerald is not realistic at all. All in all this movie fails to deliver good action scenes nor a good story, so I must rate it 3/10. You can do better Rutger!

There's no way around it. New World Disorder is just not a good movie. The acting is terrible. The story is yawn inspiring. The action scenes are so badly staged that they make Roger Corman look like the Wachowski Brothers. Don't get me wrong, I like Rutger Hauer, despite the fact that he's a bit long in the tooth for an action movie. I also am a sucker for a good "Computer punks steal a priceless program that everyone will kill for" story, but this one just doesn't live up to the genre. Perhaps there is a dearth of good entertainment elsewhere in the world, but here in the USA, there ain's nothin' splendid about New World Disorder.

In Silicon Valley, programmers develop super defensive program for computers, which impossible break open. However, group hackers-bandits kill the programmers and are tortured to steal a program, but it falls into the hands of detective David Marx, which thinks that computers - the whole only writing type-writers with the screen :-) But when hackers delete all its bank, Marx declares an open a war by "New World Disorder". Splendid film!
