good idea, great visuals, script doesn't hold up

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2000)

Ultimately, this film will prove to have been notable for its style. For people accustomed to watching movies which require thought, it's fairly simplistic, and yes, dull... though it would probably hard to find anyone who wouldn't contend it certainly has its moments. A rare credible performance by Keanu, Larry Fishburne fine as usual, the martial arts stuff is truly breathtaking. A good idea, they could have done so much more with it.
