It is awesome...and seeing is believing!!!

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 1999)

I must confess that I had the highest expectations for this movie and I walked into the theater with this in mind. The movie exceeded everything I had expected!!! After the first escape/running scene I was already addicted to the fast-paced, incredibly realistic effects that were being hurled at me and longed to be bombarded with much more. Again I was not disappointed...Torn between this effects galore and trying to mildly comprehend the complex plot of this movie, I was glued to my seat motionless for over two hours. As one famous character once said *That was definitely a 9.5 on my weird-s**t-o-meter!* I did something I usually try to avoid, I gave the movie a 10. I would probably have to watch it 20 more times to actually find a glitch big enough to scratch at that vote! Aside from the effects, the choice of characters for the movie was uniquely brilliant! Reeves and Fishburne are brilliant in both acting and dressing (special note to the clip-on sunglasses) and adapt fantastically to the speed with which the plot evolves. Weaving as the infamous agent Smith who lurkes around every corner gives the *bad guys* a very unique and humourus touch. His slow articulated form of speaking streches the suspense in a very unique way and makes the viewer want to shove a boot down his throat every time he opens his mouth! Enough said. If you have not seen the movie yet for whatever reason, watch it!!! If you have seen it and are convinced you have the whole thing down cold, watch it again, because I assure you there is more to be experienced!!!!
