A high-powered super slick sci-fi action thriller with everything a good film needs.

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 1999)

A high-powered, super slick sci-fi action thriller! This movie has some of the best fight scenes and action sequences I have ever seen. All superbly shot with cutting-edge cinematography and well-integrated into a plot that could have been a tired revisitation of archetypal themes, yet instead put a slick, lively, and extremely exciting spin on a fascinating theme of "what-is-reality?" Great performances by all actors, (particularly by Hugo Weaving and including Keanu Reeves for a change) combined with intense martial arts study added to the film's credibility and well-executed suspension-of-disbelief. An extremely enjoyable and technically masterful film that I highly recommend.
