Powerfully pumping science-fiction fashion shoot

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 1999)

What a thrill ride!
Like a Playstation game on amphetamine, a science-fiction fashion shoot, and a 101 Philosophy lesson at MIT.
Keanu is Neo - the hacker. He's a much more believable hero - average, not clever, not sure of himself, but determined and honest.
Strong and appropriately tight-lipped supporting cast, but what really shines are the effects. Originally, throbbing and left-field - this stuff could only have come out of the minds of the Southern Hemisphere. Hollywood heads are bone-dry.
Stupid dialogue, but who needs it - this is the real world, where people ain't clever but they care. Cool concept portrayed with fun, flair and style.
Stomping!
