THIS IS A GOOD FILM! I apologise for the use of capitals above, but I had to get this point across. This film has received some extremely harsh criticism, but it is a very good film.
Keanu Reeves is very good. Ice-T is excellent, as is Dina Meyer. Dolph Lungram makes an appearance too, as a somewhat unorthodox preacher, or mad murderous mostly non-human psycho! What a cast!
The story line is something a little different. Its set in the future were information is gold. It is impossible to send information securely via the Internet so some humans, act as couriers, carrying the information in their head, on implanted chips. It all sounds a little far fetched, but it really does work.
Keanu Reeves plays one of these carriers, and exceeds his memory capacity. As it starts to leak, he nneds to get the information out of his head before it kills him, while some want to get the information themselves, and some just want it destroyed, Keanos head and all.
Dont let these meagre anotations put you off. There is a whole lot of action in this film. Its a superb watch.

Advantages: If you're a fan of the books then you will appreciate it. Disadvantages: Not clear to follow without knowledge of Gibson. They changed some of the storline. No proper molly!!!
