In their followup to Bound, the Brothers Wachowski present a complex tale of VR, AI's, and a resistance group that harkens back to many traditional, eastern tales. Influences as varied as Dark City, Brazil, High Noon, The Terminator, and every John Woo film ever made come together in a story that makes the best use of Keanu Reeves' limited range. He plays Neo, a man recruited by Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) to battle the AI Agents who seek to enslave mankind. In the VR world were they meet, the characters can perform physics-defying feats, and spectacular Chambara-styled action ensues. But...can he be The One? Find out for yourself...
