what a rush

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2002)

Dazzling, highly original, high-tech action movie from the Wachowski Brothers about an elusive computer hacker who's spent years living with an uneasy feeling that the world is not quite what it seems. He's right, and with the tutelage of a wise and mysterious outlaw (Fishburne), he discovers that reality is just an illusion created by living machines who've taken control of the human race. Gripping, perplexing, high-energy thrill ride is filled with creative and clever ideas (sometimes too many for its own good) along with spectacular, eye-popping visual effects and mind-blowing fight scenes as an added bonus. You can't be told how good it is, you have to see it for yourself. ***½
