Has anyone else had the bad luck to see this? Hot damn, did this film suck ass. I wasn't expecting any good (at all) but sweet christ! This was just bad. You got Keanu Reeves (doing his best impression of a 2-by-4) as a serial killer that has a oppsession with a FBI agent. The FBI agent tries to run away from the killer. But Keanu follows him and starts killing again. But this time gives the FBI agent a 24 hour warning by sending him a picture of the girl who he plans on killing. So this operation begins to catch this guy, so they put the FBI agent in charge. Who by the way is a junkie who's addicted to pain killers and was driven over the edge by the killer last time they met. yeah, good plan.
1 out of 5 slimes.

I wouldn't blame Keanu for this one. He was orignally supposed to have a small part in the movie,then after they signed him on they re-wrote the part to make him the main star.

Keanu Reeves. What can I say about him except HE IS A BAD ACTOR! Period! To think that he is using that same old "hey I can act like I am stoned" B.S. acting is just sad. Sure, he played that "stoned" character well in films like PARENTHOOD and BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE. But he was a teen at that time. Even during the late 90's when he was no loger in his teen years he still played that character and it is getting old as hell.

And I disliked his performace in THE MATRIX. Hell, I hate the movie not for his presence but for the fact it was just not a good film overall. I just hope Reeves is taking acting lessons at this time because he needs them. If Reeves still continues to play his doped-out character with no class whatsoever, then their will definately be a Keanu Reeves retrospective in Hell.

Personally, I saw Matrix in the theatres, and it totally sucked me in. I walked around shell shocked for the rest of the day, just trippin and wondering if everything was real.

Since then I've seen it too many times and basically just watch the gunfight at the end and a few of the other fights. When you watch a movie with a bunch of idiots, it kills the movie.
