Hard to follow, fast moving

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 1999)

This is such a fast-moving movie that important details tend to be overlooked on the first viewing. It made much more sense and I picked up a lot of the details necessary to understand this film on the second viewing. It was certainly worth the time however. Usually the viewer has some inkling of the reality in the film, even if the actors don't, but this movie keeps the viewers in the dark sometimes--thrilling, frustrating and even confusing the viewer. An interesting effect, at some points I wondered whether the actors were in the matrix or not, kept me on the edge of my seat. One only needs to mention in passing the special effects--they are superb. Watch this one a few times before passing judgment on it.
