The most amazing film I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 1999)

This film is brilliant. The pace is fast, the visuals are simply stunning, but most of all the set piece action sequences just took my breath away.
There is lots of homage to all the great action directors: the plot is basically Terminator, there is much use of John Woo's 2 guns crossed over, the shootout scene is reminiscent of Heat and the whole design concept is somewhere between the 5th Element and Brazil. But don't be fooled into thinking this is just a rip off: the Wachowski's are clearly influenced and pay tribute to these directors, but have a very individual style of their own.
And everyone wears sunglasses! ALL THE TIME!!!
Stop reading right now and get yourselves down to the local cinema to see this masterpiece.
