Left the movie with a bad taste - Ziegler
Positive: Well good cinematography. Good effects. I like the Cyberpunk aesthetics. Great acting by Udo Kier and the lead actors.
Negative: Poorly done plot, the actions scenes were hilarious and poorly done. The assault by the police looked like the keystone cops. the plot was ho hum.I've seen better - seb1
You know, I may give this movie a 4, but I really suggest you watch it and I have to admit that I own it. This is a classic example of the cyber-punk genre, and this is one of those movies that is so bad it's good. This movie is like "Blade Runner"'s fat slutty sister. It has everything, bright neon lights, a huge corporate society run with the help of the yakuza, and a group of rejects who neglect technology and help save the day. Some of the other things in the movie are just hilarious. Who do you call on to take out Keanu Reeve's when the going gets tough? They called on some badass agents in "The Matrix" but in "Johnny Mnemonic"? A bionic street-preacher/mercenary who hands out sermons while he is busy crucifying his victims.This movie has its moments - Chuck_Bytes
As aged as the film is, the concept of the low tech vs high tech world was original. It's a B movie to some degree, but the effort is certainly there. The acting is as good as your going to see in this type of mid budget sci-fi and don't expect super special effects but remember the era, it's pretty good for its time. The one thing you can look forward to is unlike the cyborg generation of movies that came out in the early to mid 90's which had Van Dum and the rest of them killing each other off to no end. This film puts a little more realistic twist to the concept of mixing man with machines. Some parts were kinda cheezy but most of the film kept me interested.
