You can have a better time title-scanning Johnny pics in an alphabetical video guide than you can enduring the latest Blade Runner knockoff: Johnny Mnemonic.

Reeves showcases his considerable thesping skills in a climactic monologue about... room service.

Disappointing sci-fi. Good portrayal of the implications of being a human hard drive, but little action and no real villain.

Should have called it "Johnny Moronic"

Audience Reviews for Johnny Mnemonic

Speaking of garbage cinema, here's another to add to the pile. You may like Keanu Reeves but you have to admit it - he is absolutely awful in this. We all know he's no Oliver Reed or anything, but my god, he is atrocious in his role of "Just Johnny." This is full of bad dialogue from beginning to end, but it still has some charm to it. Maybe it's due to my love for Blade Runner and anything resembling it that I liked it, but I won't ignore how crappy it is. I enjoyed it for the most part, but it made me cringe at times, which isn't good. I hear there's an extended version floating around out there somewhere and I'd like to see it sometime. Will it remedy everything? Doubtful, but it'll be interesting nonetheless.
