Definitely a must-see for sci-fi fans

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 1999)

The movie is dark. Literally and figuratively. The acting is ok considering that there's a lot of relatively unknown talent. The action scenes are superb and the recent trend of getting Hong Kong based people to do slow motion action (remember Face/Off) is exploited to the hilt. Some of the concepts are original although the dismal attitude towards the future is something that is being repeated everywhere. Some of the the ideas will probably be true in the next few years, however their impact may be different. I saw Laurence Fishburne after a long time and he gives by far the best performance. Keanu Reeves looks more convincing than he was in Johnny Mnemonic. The others are tolerable because the special effects take over the rest of the movie. If you are looking to see a movie this weekend, go see it.
