stunning and whoop-a**!

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 1999)

Better than T2, as good as Apocalypse Now, better than Dark City. I have now seen it twice and will surely see it again in the theatre at least one more time. I was fully entertained, no boring parts. The music was perfectly selected. This movie makes my top 10 list easily. The effects, while cutting-edge, are not superior to the plot, the style, the cinematography, or the action scenes. Oodles of scenes that will make you say "How the hell did they film THAT!?" If you like martial arts, this is simply tantalizing. If you like existentialism, this movie will more than satisfy. If you are into hard-core whoop-a** action, few better movies exist. This movie is so well made, I felt that my ticket price was so cheap, I would pay to see it 5 more times and feel like I got a bargain. The few conceptual flaws, which I root out of every movie, are inconsequential and detract nothing from the flick. Keanu's agent should get a huge raise, for he could have done nothing better to redeem Keanu's reputation. Keanu's typical dead-pan and poor acting are actually ideal for this role. If there is one non-X-rated movie I would have liked to be a part of, this is it. Go and see this with a diaper on!
