Most Intelligent Action Movie I have Ever Seen

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2006)

Here is an action movie that keeps you thinking. It is endlessly intriguing with its metaphors and the grandness of its premise.
Reeves creates the illusion is YOU deciding whether to take the "red pill" or the "blue bill". The tension pulling in both directions is so strong even if you know which choice is demanded by the plot for the Hollywood movie to continue.
Most sci-fi movies feel like horse westerns in latex drag. This one pulls you into a high tension alternate universe where you scarcely dare breathe.
The truth of what is going on is too complex to be explained in a few pat sentences. It gradually has to be revealed. Usually sci-fi seems to be aimed at young teens. This movie was aimed over my head. I loved the stretch.
