Eye Candy

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 1999)

If you can imagine combining John Woo's cinematography, Jackie Chan's choreography, and New Age epistemology you have The Matrix. Neo, played by the surprisingly fitting Keanu Reeves, is about to discover the world in which he lives is a lot less than it seems. Chosen by Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) he joins a group of rebels who know the truth and are beginning to crack the code of our universe. Dazzling effects, incredible camera angles and slow motion shots depict these renegades as they learn how to alter the physical parameters of the world around us. A killer soundtrack compliments the stunning visuals of this high energy techno thriller.
