I resisted seeing this film because of the obvious violence

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2000)

But,if violence can be well-handled, this movie did it. It won me over to the genre. I have since watched the Terminators and Lethal Weapons, etc. This movie was such an extraordinary work it broke through years of resistance! I have watched it over and over - great storyline, great storytelling, extraordinary special effects - perfect casting. All acting was top-notch and Keanu Reeves was completely charismatic - something I had never felt from him as an actor before. I rate it 10/10.
