One of the most creative and unique movies of all time. Fantastic story, pacing, action and sci fi elements. While the acting is great also, this isn't a movie where acting of a higher calibre is needed. Carrie Ann-Moss makes the best performance, with Laurence Fishburne and Joe Pantoliano also putting in strong performances. Keanu Reeves is his charming self. The CGI holds up very well.
