I had an enjoyable evening

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2006)

I was surprised. I never would have bought the film if I had read the cover before. Cruzifix-machine guns etc. are not my favorite. I just took the DVD to check my beamer after a calibration. I forgot the calibration and had a very enjoyable popcorn-home cinema evening. Keanu Reeves is perfectly fatalistic and Rachel Weisz does a super job. The film is a good mix of Dogma, Blade Runner and Matrix. I think in this kind of genre it is obvious that not everything is logical and you cannot expect it in this movie, too (is Matrix logical ?). But it doesn't matter here, it does not spoil the story. I like the story, the mood of the film and Keanu's coolness. If you want a relaxing evening just lay back, set the volume as high your neighbors can accept, and enjoy. BtW.: the soundtrack is also very good (watch the trailer and teaser on the DVD!)
