This movie proves anyone can steal your life

Angela is very reclusive, but that doesn't mean she doesn't keep in shape thanks to exercise videos she orders online/phone or cut her own hair and style it after pictures of women she sees online.

i know alot of people who play WoW and would fit pretty much all these arguments.

but that isn't a big deal. these people erased her life. it would be easy to pretend to be someone else if you never ran into anyone they know. even then, if you wanted to steal someone's identity, you could act as them even around people they knew since most people don't have constant access to other people's records.

if you wanted to really rip someone off, it is entirely possible. what they did in the movie would require someone to be completely cut off from the rest of the world, which is possible, but not probable.

Yep this movie is one big case of identity theft.

This movie is all about having your ID stolen due to the advances in technology. In 1995 this could have been possible for terrorists as encryption was not that advanced


This movie proves anyone can steal your life... IF:

*You have no friends or relatives who know you

She worked from home and spoke only to people over the phone where she worked from. She had only moved in few months and her character was pretty much keep herself to herself, she tried the reach out to someone she new and it got them killed, she would not do that again.

*Somehow you don't manage to have any contact with your neighbors

She had only moved in few months and her character was pretty much keep herself to herself. I personally can't stand my neighbours, thats not really unrealistic.


*You don't go to the doctor or dentist (who would have your health records)

She did which were all altered to Ruth Marx by the praetorians

*You work from home and are a shut in

Which she is, she is a top computer analyzer

*You don't bother with such things as a passport or other ID that would be on file

Again all changed by the praetorians, Plus they gave her a wanted by police and criminal record. Which would have put her in custody, where the predorians would come and collect her and kill her.


*Doesn't seem to know the people who take care of your sick mother!!!! This latter one seems like a huge problem!

She seeks help from anyone that new her she would get them killed, plus she has a criminal record, even if a nurse ID'd her, she would flag up as wanted the police would believe there system not a wanted person and they would amend the nurse who ID'd her’s doctors record to have a drug problem and police record and give her some minor charges in assault and she would be sacked never to work in care again.

Yet keeps in shape

She Jogs.

a current haircut

When you go for a hair cut you say your name.

normal clothes

Again why would a sales adviser know her name.

All 3 of them would not proove she is Angela Bennett.

This day and age this would never happen, but would have been possible. But back in 1995 we were vulnerable with the internet, I myself downloaded a program, went in to a chat room which used to give username and IP which gave you straight access to the persons computer.
