Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

docm-32304 Yes, the plot is somewhat of a cliché, but who doesn't love a good conspiracy theory/chase movie? The acting is fair, but it would be nice to see a lot less running scenes of Keanu Reeves swinging his hair back and forth with his silly gait which saturated the movie. Morgan Freeman was excellent as usual and I found his role it to be quite a change. Brian Cox's character is similar to how he would play later in the Bourne franchise . All in all, not a bad film, just so so.

koffeenkreame41-1 Simply put, one of my favorite movies of the 90s, because I'm a big fan of the Fugitive. This plot follows it adds a bit of a new age spin on it. Enjoyable flick with very good actors and a cast that features Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Fred Ward, Brian Cox, Rachel Weisz and many others, highly recommended if you're a fan of the Fugitive or U.S. Marshalls!The story is about a chemist & his friend suspected of murdering their mentor and Reeves & Weisz receive help from a friend of their fallen colleague and they try and find out who is trying to frame them for murder. Much like The Fugitive, which ironically is done by most of the same crew and features some of the actors from that film, it's a great flick to pass the time on.

Twins65 Just watched the big budget CHAIN REACTION on the Reelz channel, and it all made for a very underwhelming Sat. night. Some sort of convoluted plot about alternative fuel which didn't make a whole bunch of sense was the back drop to Keanu Reeves & Rachel Weisz running everywhere around Chicago and So. Wisconsin in January of 1996.It certainly was fun picking out Chicago bit actors of the era, including Chelcie Ross, a very young and skinny Michael Shannon (or as I know him now, Nelson Van Alden from "Boardwalk Empire"), John Cusack's late father, and even a couple of CBS2 Chicago veteran investigative reporters, Pam Zekman and John Drummond. The best parts were the location shots at Williams Bay on frozen Lake Geneva Wisc., including the inside of the Yerkes Observatory and Keanu spinning around on an "everglades like" hovercraft just missing some 'Sconnie fish houses.But all in all, I'd say take a pass on CHAIN REACTION unless nothing else is on.

Tweekums When the scientist leading the search for a new low cost energy source announces that he intends to give the discovery to the world he is looked on as a bit of an idealist but when a breakthrough leads to the energy source's discovery things quickly go bad for his team; he is murdered and his lab totally destroyed; another of his team vanishes, presumed to have taken stolen data to China and another two; Eddie Kasalivich, the man who made the breakthrough and Dr. Lily Sinclair, a physicist on the team find themselves on the run having been framed for murder and selling the data. The only man they think they can trust is Eddie's mentor Paul Shannon but he is in no position as the FBI are watching him almost as keenly as they are watching Eddie and Lily. If they are to survive they will have to get out of Chicago and find a safe way to meet Shannon; all the time avoiding various law enforcement agencies and more dangerous characters working for the shadowy organisation that killed the scientist and destroyed his lab.While this is hardly a classic thriller it is a lot of fun; there are impressive explosions, numerous chases, shootings and a constant sense that our protagonists could be caught, or worse, at any moment. Keanu Reaves does a decent job as Eddie and Rachel Weiss is fine as Lily; however it is Morgan Freeman who dominates proceedings as Shannon; a man we aren't sure whether or not can be trusted for much of the film. Brian Cox also puts in a fun performance as the obvious villain Lyman Collier. The story itself is fairly silly but it is well told and there should be enough action and suspense to keep most viewers entertained well enough. I wouldn't say this is a must see film but it is worth watching if it is on television and there is nothing better on.
