Reviews
Watchable but forgettable Fugitive-clone. Keanu as rocket scientist - more power to him.
A generic and illogical transparent thriller that never generates any chemistry between this mundane movies leads Reeves and Freeman. The only chain reaction one will receive is blatant boredom
The chain reaction among audiences will likely be a contagious snore.
Exhilarating but skin-deep summer fun. (You were expecting Shakespeare?)
