Editorial Review:
A student machinist (Keanu Reeves) finds himself caught in a maze of secret government cover-ups, hi-tech espionage and murder after working on a ground-breaking scientific experiment. Eddie Kasalivich (Reeves) and Lily Sinclair (Rachel Weisz) are part o
Description of Chain Reaction:
Anyone want to venture a guess that Keanu Reeves was sorry he passed up Speed 2 to make this turkey? Both a ridiculous suspense piece about a renegade intelligence community and an ill-considered hunk of do-gooder agitprop about alternative energy technology, Chain Reaction makes Reeves and almost everyone else involved look about as dumb as dumb can be. Hollywood's own Little Buddha plays a streetwise lab technician who survives an organized assault on his hydrogen-power project. The FBI assumes he's really a spy working for some foreign power, but the truth is that a CIA offshoot is behind the project's funding. Morgan Freeman plays the ramrod-straight company man who sabotages Keanu's excellent experiment, and Rachel Weisz portrays a physicist who goes on the run with the alleged saboteur. Directed by Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), who seems more interested in seeing how many absurd places he can mount a chase scene than offering a solid clue as to who these characters are and why we should care about them. --Tom Keogh

2009-01-25 - I loved this flick when it first came out. It has a great story line and awsome plot and it is even better in blu-ray. Yesss!
It is an average spy movie about average spies...
2009-01-07 - It's political and about spies...what more can I say? Such movies are very similar to each other so whatever your preconceived notion about such movies is go with it. The only difference is the concept of hydrogen power derived from water...while concept and working prototypes exist the idea is shunned by car manufacturers who prefer to play with oil producers. The idea about the source of energy introduced in this movie is refreshing but the rest of the movie is a dead to progress while it is being charged with typical spy movie policies.
Fantastic Reaction
2008-12-20 - I purchased this product as a gift for a friend of mine who is a total Keanu fan. The item showed up in perfect timing and condition. The squeal of delight I recieved when she opened her gift was thanks enough, but when she watched the movie, she had the perfect reaction. Thank you and I would highly suggest this product for anyone who likes action movies.
