Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): plot : set in the future , a courier has uploaded some data into a " hard drive " that resides in his head , and must now escape the bad guys who are after that very important information . since he overloaded his " hard drive " , he 's also racing against the clock before the information seeps into his brain and kills him .
critique : incoherent , boring , one - act drivel with no suspense , horribly unbelievable futuristic environment , bad dialogue , career - defining bad acting by keanu reeves and a hilarious ending .
it 's too bad because the premise of the film was interesting , but unfortunately for my friends and i , this movie turned out to be just as bad as everyone had warned us .
it 's one of those films that makes you start laughing half - way through , when you realize that most of the actors in it suck , the location shots are filmed in dark " junkyard " type areas which they would like to have us believe to be futuristic ( whatever . . . ) , and all the sets look like . . . .
well , sets .
there is also absolutely no arc to this story .
it basically starts off with keanu uploading info into his brain , and then a bunch of folks chasing him from place to place until a laughable ending puts a stop to the former uneventful proceedings .
gibson should stick to writing novels and " x - files " episodes , since his segue into the paranormal tv series was much more entertaining than any of this garbage .
some other hilarities of this film include dolph lundgren as some futuristic jesus character whose supposed to kick ass , henry rollins as a pumped - up cyber - doctor or something , and ice - t
as some kind of a hobo dude with paint all over his face ( do n't ask ) .
the ending is the funniest with some robot dolphin and a stupid ghost - lady
from inside the computer doing some stuff that no one really cares about by that point .
i 'm ashamed to say this film was shot in my hometown of montreal , canada , but sadly enough for us all , it was .
some of the cyber - travelling special effects were okay ( hence , the 2/10 ) , but overall , it 's one of those bad movies that 's just funny to watch and cringe at
.
thankfully for keanu , he redeemed his sci - fi career with 1999 's the matrix ( 7 . 5/10 ) .
it 's too bad that he has yet to redeem his lack of acting talent .
little known facts about this film and its stars : as of 1999 , director robert longo never directed another full - feature film .
hmmm .
. . now is n't that odd ? : )
writer william gibson immigrated from the us to canada in 1968 , after being rejected for the draft .
he lived in toronto at first , but since 1972 , has made vancouver his home .
his 1984 novel " neuromancer " and its sequels 1986 's " count zero " and 1988 's " mona lisa overdrive " are generally considered to be the definitive works of the " cyberpunk " science - fiction sub - genre .
this film garnered keanu reeves a nomination in the " worst actor " category in the 1996 razzie awards .
