DVD Review - I.T.

Not Rated; 95 mins; $29.96; Walmart

Now available on DVD & Blu-ray from RLJ Entertainment is the thriller I.T. Directed by John Moore (Max Payne), the film stars Pierce Brosnan (The November Man, James Bond Franchise), James Frecheville (The Stanford Prison Experiment, Animal Kingdom), Anna Friel (“Marcella,” “Pushing Daisies”), Stefaine Scott (Insidious: Chapter 3, “A.N.T. Farm”), and Austin Swift (Live by Night).

I.T. centers on an aviator entrepreneur Mike Regan (played by Pierce Brosnan) who plans on launching a new private jet app. After a computer glitch is fixed by a temp I.T. worker, Ed Porter (played by James Frecheville), during a board meeting, Mike invites the young man to his state-of-the-art-"smart home" to help fix a few problems with his security system, and he introduces him to his wife (played by Anna Friel) and daughter, Kaitlyn (played by Stefaine Scott).

Unfortunately, an unthinkable nightmare begins for Mike and his family as Ed becomes obsessed with Kaitlyn.

The film was released to limited theaters and video on-demand back in September of this year.

Final Thoughts: I.T. is one of those films that normally misses my radar until I stumble upon it on a basic cable channel. I only heard about the film through a press release from RLJ Entertainment. At a running time of 95 minutes, a whole lot occurs in this low-budget thriller. What starts out as a cliched stalker plot, quickly changes into a cat-and-mouse storyline, something that feels a James Patterson's novel. Yes, it's a little predictable in places, but thanks to an outstanding performance by Pierce Brosnan and some tight editing, the film turned out to be a surprisingly good movie.
