Great sci-fi, great moviemaking, great action, NOT a chick-flick

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 1999)

Keanu was right to skip Speed 2. This movie is immeasurably better. The story is coherent, though complicated. The effects are the best I have ever seen, and the acting is as cool as the entire movie. I actually took KR seriously as a kung fu master. Larry Fishburne was great, and the entire cast had a comic book reality quality that was completely appropriate to the film premise.
This is the first movie since LA Confidential I plan to see again before it leaves the theater. I may even buy the CD.
