Johnny Mnemonic

This is one of those movies I've always been a tiny bit skeptical to watch because it's an older Keanu Reeves movie. I'm not saying I hate Reeves. He's done some decent things. I'll admit it. I loved Babes in Toyland when it came out and I was five years old. I'm not ashamed of it. I was also a fan of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Point Break and The Devil's Advocate. I loved Dracula and The Replacements. Thumbsucker and Constantine were good and I still need to see A Scanner Darkly and The Gift. See, Reeves isn't so bad. Johnny Mnemonic wasn't too bad either. In fact, I thought it was good. This one came out in 1995. Remember how everybody thought it was so cool how Tom Cruise used those gloves in Minority Report? Well, it had already been done in this movie. The plots actually interesting too and I think this movie was way better than Tank Girl. There were also a lot of recognizable people like Dina Meyer from Supertroopers, Ice-T, Takeshi Kitano from Zatôichi, Dolph Lundgren from Red Scorpion and Rocky IV, Henry Rollins, and Udo Kier from Blade. You recognize some of those people, right? Anyways, the jist of this story is that people put hard drives in their heads to transfer data. Reeves is one of those people and he gets 320gb of data slammed into his head. The amazing thing is that was a TON of data 11 years ago. If you're a computer nerd like me, you know what I'm talking about. Back then a 120mb hard drive was a decent amount of space. So Keanu has all this data in his head and it's too much, so he's trying to get it out before he dies. There are of course some bad guys involved. Ice-T isn't a kangaroo in this one, but he is in the "underground" and helps save the day. I'm sure a lot of people thought this one was stupid, but I liked it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
