Considered by some to be a near religious experience

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2000)

I almost did not see this film because of the preview with Keanu Reeves saying 'Woah'. I am thankful that I watched it anyway. Andy and Larry Wachowski did a superb job both writing and directing this sci-fi (or is it?) actioner. The cast was terrific, including Keanu Reeves. They brought the story bleakly, almost painfully to life. My hack and slash buddies were impressed with the hardware and fire power. I thought the costumes were outstanding. The editing was slick and seamless and the special effects were the star of the show. Grade A (9)
