Johnny Mnemonic
As a William Gibson fan, I read this book a long long time ago, and unfortunately its largely faded from my memory. Anyhow, I'm told that this movie doesn't really resemble the book all that much anyway.
Johnny is a data smuggler/courier, who has swapped the space in his head where he kept his childhood memories for free space to carry information. He has some sort of brain failure, meaning his head is likely to meltdown in the very near future. He has to get the data out to save himself. Yakuza and big corporates are hunting him down.
I loved the styling... just what I would have imagined cyber-punk to be all about. Keanu Reeves was totally mechanical, but it wasn't too grating until the latter parts of the show. And Ice-T has a big part. Love the Ice, its like a prelude to his Law and Order years, except the part is completely different - he just acts it the same.
Not too bad a flick, but the last quarter gets a little silly.
