JOHNNY MNEMONIC (Released to Theaters USA 1995)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  Johnny Mnemonic—cult classic—relies on an exceptionally complicated storyline and need improvement in acting and portrayal. The creativity and freshness of story is undeniable. It is good to see Keanu Reeves in one of his earlier works.   Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline  Johnny Mnemonic is a data courier for large corporations who use his brain to upload and download their data.

Thank you to Producer Don Carmody for making the film possible. Cast includes Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Takeshi Kitano, Ice-T, and Dina Meyer.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Yes. The movie's title alone carries high expectations for a good theatre experience. Add the presence of Keanu Reeves and expectations raise even higher. Read a plotline before going. The movie is exceptionally complicated.  Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
