Johnny Mnemonic (film review)

This took about 45 minutes to upload, and only after did I find that I made a mistake with one of the pictures at the end.
As for the movie, it was a mediocre yet fun science-fiction film with an authentic, grungy future setting and a visually striking depiction of cyperspace. And you can always count on Keanu Reeves to try hard and give you a fun, if not believable, performance. This was certainly a refreshing change from crud like Skyline and Stranded.

(Note: Aside from my YouTube avatar, I do not own any of the media in this video.)

Cheers!

It's feel like a runner up to The Matrix.

@Darkhillpic28

That's a good way of putting it!

This doesn't really have anything to do with the movie but I don't think a desire for wealth is some "everyone" can relate to. Some people may despise being wealthy.

Nobody does deadpan with more passion than Reeves.

You're right when you say that not everybody wants to be wealthy, but most of us want to live comfortably, and that does require a good income. Having a little more (not an excessive amount, and not out of greed) would be a bonus.

And Keanu Reeves is indeed the most dedicated deadpan actor since Raymond Burr in the fifties.

I had fun with this one as well, back when I saw it.

1995 was THE year of stupid cyberspace movies. If I may, I recommand you check out 95's "Hackers," starring a young Angelina Jolie, which is both worse and more enjoyable then Johnny Mnemonic.
