Holy ****!

Remember when you first saw The Matrix? And you walked out the movie theater drenched in sweat, asking your friend in amazement "What the hell did we just see??!!" This is the first movie I have seen this then that gave me that feeling of utter astonishment, of total immersion in a complete insane alternative reality. That's no small achievement.
OK, yes, it's not realistic, it's not even pretending to be realistic. OK much of it makes no sense. OK it has pretty much no redeeming social value. BUT imagine every piece of lunatic action you've ever seen in a movie, crank them up to 11, and splice them together pretty much uninterrupted for 100 minutes, tie them together with a story that has you wondering just what crazy thing will happen next, and you have, IMHO, pretty much everything I want from this sort of movie.
