best action flick of 1999, still a challenge

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2006)

Of general opinion, Matrix was THE movie to watch in the final months of millennium gone. And yes, both sequels sucked. Matrix 2-3 were high-budget, but non-democratic flicks. mummy 2 sucked too, but we will - in this review - not care about that - its the money honey. the first part will have its way to a real classic - why? it did not bother with a love story (wich, as we all know, is not the reason to watch this particular movie) but 1tries to entertain quite ALL OF THE TIME. Doing so without the philosophical bullshit Matrix tortures us with, what more can one expect? this is cinema as it was to be meant. And if you don't want to live with the red pill, this flick will make the time worth worthwhile.
