The science fiction that Keanu Reeves could not believe that it was made

In the movie Andrew Davis’ 1996 Thrilleer “Reaction”, Keanu Reeves plays the role of Eddie Casalvich, a mechanic at the University of Chicago who oversees a special scientific experience to convert hydrogen into energy. Eddie is not a genius, but he knows how the chain -filled chain room works. Then, one night, he accidentally discovered a mysterious voice that settles in the experience and gets success. It seems that the world’s energy supply problems will be solved.

Of course, this begins immediately in mysterious coverage where the chain reaction room is detonated by unknown conspirators and Eddia is framing for the destruction. (The explosion takes eight full civilian masses.) He kills innocent scientists, so I have to run with a physicist called Laila, Played by Reeves in time, “Constantine”, the star Rachel Wesz. Of course, they should find a way to prove their innocence and discover those who want to destroy their energy experience. Morgan Freeman also appears as one of the conspirators.

If you do not remember the “reaction chain”, do not feel bad. It is a type of forgetful films that came and went in the late summer of 1996 without noticing many people. Reeves has not obtained a crashing cycle in Kong Fu for “The Matrix” yet Consequently, it was not necessarily a guaranteed clouds of box office, with a photo of $ 50 million, just over $ 60 million at the box office (which is, in terms of Hollywood, a bomb). Instead, the “reaction chain” was one of those films that you likely to watch on cable TV in the late 1990s. At that time, you may go on several copies of the “Rest Series” in a great movie on your way to renting a more interesting movie. Even Reeves does not like the “reaction chain”.

In 2001, five years after the “theaters’ reaction chain” was struck, Reeves admitted UPI The film faced a set of problems, most of which arose from its text (which is attributed to JF Lawton and Michael Bortman). He pointed out that he chooses his acting roles based on the wealth of his characters and/or the complexity of the conspiracy (contrary to the commercial capabilities of the film) and that he signed a “reaction chain” because he loved Eddi a lot. In the text he read, the character was closer Hitchcock heroAny family man is incorrectly driven. This has changed dramatically before the start of the shooting, leaving a cold Reeves in the project. As it put it:

(W) When I got there, it was a different movie. Originally, I was married. I had this child, and I did this research, and I did not know that what I was looking for had this effect. One of them was killed.

In the final film, Eddie is a less interesting character, expressing more than just a public champion decision. Reeves does not do much with the part, but then, there is not much that someone can do with a character like Eddie. Just like the movie around it, Eddie shows a kind of banks in the background, an element that can be forgotten in a film that can be forgotten.

The “reaction chain” has a 18 % approval rate on Spoiled tomatoes Based on 34 reviews. Most critics were quick to use the phrase “general” and “formula” to describe it. It is a completely noticeable movie, and this particular article may be one of the few times in the past thirty years that someone has disturbed by observing it.
