Johnny Mnemonic (1995)


TriStar Pictures
Directed by Robert Longo
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(Blu-Ray, Image Entertainment)
(Starz)

Keanu Reeves carries the cure for a worldwide virus in a brain implant. The pharmacy company that discovered it wants it back, while underground fighters with face tattoos in a crumbling Newark, NJ, want to share it with the rest of the world. It's all an excuse to glorify hopelessly outdated technology, indulge in clunky computer animated dream sequences and torment the audience with gory death scenes. Keanu is wooden and the supporting cast includes non-actor musicians like Henry Rollins and Ice-T. Absolutely dreadful.
