THE MATRIX; Carlisle's Final Word.

"Stop trying to hit me and hit me."
Morphius.


Script Logic; 2/2
Pace; 1/2
Acting; 1/2
Aesthetic;2/2
Originality & Intention; 2/2


Score; 8/10


Final Word; For all the talk of ‘originality’, directors Andy and Lana Wachowski (formally the Wachowski Brothers, before one of them had a sex-change) do owe a debt of gratitude to a great many films and books, but the package is all its own. May seem cliché now, but its action scenes in particular were ground breaking. On the flip-side, now we’re stuck with a slew of knock-offs and every film these days seems to have an obligatory slow-mo moment. A rare film because even Keanu Reeve’s charisma-vacuum presence doesn’t sink it.
