Rating: 5/10 (13 June 1999)

In a parallel universe William Gibson knocked this story out in a morning, read it back and consigned it to oblivion. In the alternate reality that is late nineties cinema the story has resurfaced and stretched to over two hours. You can tick off all the desirable style elements, herds of animals contributing to the de rigeur black leather, more pistols packed than Lara Croft with the endless ammo cheat and Keanu Reeves, the most other-worldly element in the whole competent but workmanlike effort.
