ok its been a very long time (years) since i've seen this & my local video store does not have this movie available to even rent! its been bugging me by trying to remember, so i was wondering if someone can help me...
1.how did angela even get mixed up with a guy like jack? i know they were dating but how did they meet? the way they met, it wasn't by accident was it? jack knew what he was doing before he even met her, it was his intentions before she even knew him?
2.why would jack even want to erase his girlfriend's identity? did angela know something that would ruin him? or was it because jack being the prick he is just wanted to?
This Message is Nothing But SPOILER - I'M GIVING AWAY THE WHOLE PLOT HERE!!!
Remember that Angela had a disc sent to her by her collegue in San Francisco. The disc contained a program that the collegue had discovered which would enable someone to enter into many highly secure computer systems - obviously some group out there was able to access critical networks and would be very dangerous!!
Now Jack works for that dangerous group and is charged with retreaving the disc and eliminating anyone outside of the group who would know about it. And Jack has an advantage because he can access all these highly secured systems. So the first thing he does is mess with the computerized air traffic control system and sends the collegue's private plane into an oil refinary. Now he has to get Angela. Watching Angela's computer (Jack is empowered as the uber-hacker here) he knows that she is going to fly to Mexico the next morning. He is also able to find out lots of details about her by sitting in on her little on-line chats. so he knows what she used to smoke, what she drinks, favorite movie, and he can snoop around and find out all of her personal details.
Now, to answer the questions: 1. Jack and Angela met on the beach in Mexico. They are both on the beach and he strikes up a conversation with her. But Jack was already following Angela before they ever met. So he gets her to go out on a date with him (this will leave her room empty so it can be searched for the disc and he can quietly kill her on the boat out at sea). But then he starts to fall for her... but he still tries to kill her but she escapes. (I would not call her his girl friend)
2. Since she escaped (and took the disc with her) he has to try to find her, the disc, and keep her from telling anyone else so he tries to trap her by taking away her identity. This also makes her sound crazy so anyone she tells the story to will could not believe her.This allows all sorts of other things to happen which make up the rest of the movie.
