Pros: Nice and out of the ordinary. Cons: Haha, some of the effects...
Why am I such a sucker for movies everyone else thinks are lame? Before Keanu Reeves started storing info into his brain during The Matrix, he was doing it in Japan in Johnny Mnemonic. I found this movie on one night ...
William Gibson is one of the most exciting and visionary science fiction writers working today. He has a unique and compelling vision of the future that demands attention. His debut novel "Neuromancer" was a cult smash and one of the finest...
This is not your run-of-the-mill "save the dolphin-in-the-dirty-fishbowl film"! We need a paradigm shift in criticism to get it right about mnemonics (the art of memory). Then we might be able to see "Johnny Mnemonics" straight. ...

Director: Robert Longo
Writer: William Gibson (based on his short story)
Producer: Don Carmody
Actors: Keanu Reeves as Johnny Mnemonic
Dina Meyer as...
Pros: dark and gritty look, cool special effects Cons: Dolph Lundren, Ice-T, shoddy translation of William Gibson
Johnny Mnemonic is based on a short story by William Gibson, The father of the CyberPunk genre and coiner of the term Cyberspace. I am a William Gibson fan and I thought this movie would be excellent. But then again, when is a movie adaptation EVER as...
Pros: A cyber punk movie, if you like that sort of thing. Cons: Poorest of the poor acting, cheesy theme, an astounding waste of time.

Pros: Keanu's a great actor, special effects Cons: Gets Flippery in the end, but that's okay
In case you are wondering how Keanu Reeves got the Matrix part, Johnny Mnemonic is where it all begins. In this film, Reeves acts as a digital messenger who carries megabytes of data in his head and sells the information to the highest bidder. Unlike...
Keanu Reeves in a Sci-Fi flick daunted with the task of saving the world. Sound like a good Matrix prequel, will maybe it doesn't and well it doesn't even come close.
I'm honestly surprised few people have rated this movie. This leads me...
Pros: Good story and effects Cons: Acting, supporting cast
This may come as a surprise to many of you. But this is actually a very good film. Sure, it's a little weird and Keanu can't really act. But this is a remarkable vision of the future, one not quite like those we are used to seeing. Of course it includes...
Loosely based on a story by cyber-pioneer William Gibson this futuristic thriller centers on a the title character Keanu Reeves a courier who loads vi...More at Family Video
