At last, BLADE RUNNER has a good cyberpunk movie companion!

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 1999)

This movie will change Sci-Fi as we know it. Ironic that its released in the same year as PHANTOM MENACE, by two relative unknowns, Los Bros. Wachowski. But despite Episode One, I still think this is the movie that is sparking the most word-of-mouth around the water cooler. Never before seen, inventive FX, strong themes, some say rehashed, but still made fresh and different. Exciting leads, perfect casting (Fishburne, as always, magnetic; Moss was icy cool, strong;your villain defines your heroes, and Weaving was superbly evil, but also defined himself and why Agents do what they do;lastly, Reeves always handled the physical roles well, but he also emoted, showed a little of himself in scenes, something we hadn't seen in a while. Good films and good directing brings out the best in you. In the words of Morpheus, "You must experience the MATRIX for yourself!".
