Keanu is stupidly beleavable

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 1999)

Before I begin, let me say this: I am not a fan of Keanu Reeves' acting ability. Short of "Bill & Ted" movies, he hasn't found a niche yet (in my opinion). I went to see this film on the advice of several people whose opinions are valuable to me. What I found was that Keanu's normal stupidity actually was believable here! This film (for Keanu) works! Really.
I was impressed with all the acting, the effects, and even with Keanu. This IS his best film to date.
Is this film as good as the rating makes it sound? No. I reserve an "8" rating for films like "The Empire Strikes Back," but this films isn't as bad as a "6"...by default I give it a "7." Could be a bit better, and could have been a LOT worse!
See this film if:
(1) you're a big Keanu fan. (2) you are a computer savy (IT professional) person (3) you like fire-fight scenes.
