Great Idea, Mediocre Movie...
Review of Chain Reaction DVD by CaptainDisaster

Advantages: It tries really hard to be a tense techno-thriller...
Disadvantages: ... but fails, mainly through poor editing and production style.

<<<< FILM-ONLY REVIEW>>>> <<<>>> I'm Chain Reaction starts off with an intriguing premise and goes downhill from there, despite trying really hard to be a tense techno-thriller. In The initial idea, of a new power-source being developed from water (we're not talking traditional hydro-power here though) - which supposedly has the capacity to use the hydrogen in small ...

Never Ending Action
Review of Chain Reaction DVD by Trev1000

Advantages: Excellent entertainment.
Disadvantages: None.

...to blow. This is where the chain reaction begins, Eddie grabs his bike, and gets out sharpish, just missing death as the building and machinery explode taking out the whole north side of Chicago. With this nuclear style explosion, everyone gets involved, police, FBI, reporters, the works. By morning it's made clear what's happened, and as the questioning begins, but so do the set ups. Within a few hours Eddie and Lily are in the frame for murder ... Read review

Water Chase
Review of Chain Reaction DVD by jimbuck

Advantages: Great action movie
Disadvantages: None for me

If your cup of tea in the film world is a fast action chase across the country then this film is for you. Starring Keanu Reeves as Eddie Kasalivich a scientist working on a cheap energy project, the film opens with an experiment into splitting water into its constituent parts of hydrogen and oxygen. Now there is nothing new in that as it is already possible to do that in real life but the energy required is greater than the energy that would be released ... Read review

Pleasure to watch
Review of Chain Reaction DVD by WELSHW0LF

Advantages: Good story, Action packed
Disadvantages: Nothing

Great cast and an even better storyline. From start to finish this film will keep you interested. With some twists and turns this film is one to see. Keanu and Rachel make a great partnership as they do in Constantine. Together in this movie they stuggle to find the truth about a project gone bad. Helping them is Morgan Freeman and collectively the journey takes them on a voyage of discovery about who is really on thier side and who is not. The visual ... Read review

Review of Chain Reaction DVD by the_g_con

Advantages: graphics
Disadvantages: storyline

Thoughugh this film is incomprehensibly confusing with government secret departments that even the FBI don't know about it and inexplicable and highly improbable methods of producing hydrogen, the action scenes are compelling. Rachel Weisz's English accent was highly questionable and so was Keanu's haircut. Kudos to him for passing as a student at the age of 31. Morgan Freeman exuded charisma as ever and his character was mysterious and maintained ... Read review
