Everything You've Heard is True

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2003)

All the hype is true. This film is the most technically amazing piece of cinema to date. Both the famed "burly brawl" sequence and the amazing freeway chase scene have you on the edge of your seat, then afterward thinking, "How on earth did they do that?"
The story is also surprising and satisfying. There are a few moments of flat dialog, particularly from Reeves, but that's not enough to dampen the vibrancy and life in this film. The only thing that will leave you unsatiated is the too-brief appearances of Penelope, Twin I, and Twin II. You might also be a tad upset at the cliff-hanger ending: It will seem like November is very far away.
