excellent

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2000)

I just recently saw this movie for the first time and wow. The mood is somewhat dark but it only enhances the feel of the movie. The one thing I must say is that the makers of The Matrix must have had this movie at the front of their mind when they wrote their script.
SPOILERS!
The hero has special powers but doesn't know it.
He is pursued by powerful beings who all look basically alike and have the same special powers.
The city that is the world for all the people living in it is a total fabrication.
The strange beings keep the humans as unwitting prisoners so they can expierament on them without their knowledge.
The hero gets help from a shadowy person who seems to know everything.
The hero and the leader of the beings who run the city have a climactic battle using the strange powers they both have.
