Best Action Film since Die Hard

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2004)

Die hard the original that is. This movie is great. Awesome action and a in depth and clever story to boot. The script is solid enough to cover for Keanu's acting pitfalls and keep the audience into the plot. It also does a great job of keeping a very complicated story simple. One can walk away from this movie for up to 40 minutes, come back, and still be able to follow what is going on. Some may look at this as a negative, but it is essential for a action film to be easy to follow and pick up quickly. Its like History class in school. If your off in one chapter, it wont kill you, you can pick it up right at the next chapter. A very entertaining and exciting film, although the sequels are a bit of a disappointment (especially in plot) they become far to complicated and far too dependent of CGI. But in any case The Matrix is definitely a must see.
