Excellent use of anime-style action sequences, good plot. Made it to my purchasing list (and I never purchase flicks.)

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 1999)

This is the sort of flick I would produce if I produced flicks. Keanu, building on his cyberpunk image from "Johnny Mnemonic" brought in his usual mix of the styled computer geek with a dash of Japanese-anime style drama which may very well become the hallmark of this genre to come. Perhaps what I like best about these "types" of movies is the constant dichotomy of gritty, run down holes where the heroes play and the sterile, fortress-like office environments (not wholly unlike the hole I find myself in from 9-5.) where the enemy lay. Finally, this movie may mean the most to you if you've ever buried your head in a Gibson novel or spent hours of your life digging around the underpinnings of our beloved Internet. These movies forspeak a day when the gearheads of the net become warriors of corporate interest (or worse,) or rats, scurrying about the sewers under the streets, subverting the establishment in pursuit of some crusade.
Hey, I liked it, and Ms. Moss' wardrobe crew deserves props for the ultra-spiff outfits. -Bill. See you on the net. :)
