101 Films presents Robert Longo's cyberpunk classic Johnny Mnemonic adapted for the screen by visionary writer William Gibson from his own short story and starring Keanu Reeves in a role that paved the way for his lead role in the Matrix series, Johnny Mnemonic is a futuristic thrill-ride that will blow your mind. It’s the year 2021 and Johnny (Keanu Reeves) is a data courier with a secret: he is carrying a dangerous stash of information in his mind and must race against time, money, and gangsters to deliver the package and save himself. Accompanied by physically enhanced bodyguard Jane (Dina Meyer), Johnny sets out to acquire the passwords he needs to save himself. Worse yet, he is hunted by gangster Shinji (Denis Akiyama) and businessman Takahashi (Takeshi), both of whom seek the data Johnny possesses. (101 Films)

To kill such an interesting premise is an art in itself. Who’s responsible for it? Robert Longo? Note that he hasn't made anything since. I'm not surprised, but still, watch out for him in the future.

Johnny Mnemonic is packed with so many cool and wild ideas that I just can't help it. I literally spent the whole time marveling at everything the creators came up with. Keanu is quite clumsy, as expected from him, but I really like Dina Meyer, and besides, there's the wonderfully crazy Dolph and the classically devilish Udo. Yeah, this is bizarrely good fun.
