In I.T., Mike Regan (Brosnan) is a successful, self-made man who has it all: a gorgeous wife, a beautiful teenage daughter, and a sleek, state-of-the-art “smart home.” But he soon finds himself in a deadly, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse when his I.T. consultant (Frecheville) starts using his skills to stalk Mike's daughter and endanger his family, his business, and his life. In a world where there is no privacy, and personal secrets can go viral at the click of a mouse, Mike needs to rely on his old connections to defeat a new kind of nemesis. (Gary Reber)

Special features include a behind-the-scenes featurette (HD 08:06), a photo gallery, and the trailer.

The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture was digitally photographed and exhibits a perfectly natural appearance. The color palette is well balanced with hues that are never exaggerated. Fleshtones are naturally hued throughout. Contrast is nicely balanced with natural blacks and revealing shadow delineation. Resolution is excellent, with fine detail exhibited throughout in facial features, hair, clothing, and object texture. Overall clarity is impressive as well. This is a good-looking movie that is engaging and visually pleasing. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is a dynamically intense soundtrack, with effective nuances in atmospherics and sound effects, as well as intense loud special effects with car sounds, crashes, and rock music. The music score is nicely recorded with a wide soundstage presence that extends to the surround. Deep bass sounds natural in the music score and extends at times to sub-25 Hz in the .1 LFE channel. An intense downpour and thunder really energizes the soundfield. Nuances and Foley are well produced. Surround envelopment is effective and at times directionalized. Dialogue is intelligible throughout, and spatial integration is very good. (Gary Reber)
