I first saw this DVD case when i was browsing in Virgin Megastores. The graphical representation of Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr. I looked it up on IMDB as i do for most films before i buy them, and it seemed like a good buy.

The way the film works is strange, i had never seen anything like it before, and havent seen anything like it since. The graphical animation of the characters, scenery and settings are amazing!!
Nothing was ever still, which added to the feel of the film as you knew that nobody could trust anybody else, it made each and every character look "sketchy" which is rather relevent for the style of the film.

As well as this, the plot for the film was good, with Keanu Reeves playing the main character who was just as untrustworthy as the drug dealers he was pursuing. The only thing that i found very strange about the film was the undercover suit that the officers wore. This was obviously only enabled because of the format of the film. This would not have been as possible using CGI. But must have taken the animators an eternity.

My favourite part of the film (for those who have seen it) is the scene with the bike in it.

I would recommend you buy it. Use find-dvd.co.uk to find the cheapest version.

Nice review. I loved this film- I remember seeing it at the cinema and feeling utterly freaked out.
