This neo-noir thriller is a terrific feature debut by the Wachowskis, with its careening twists and turns, and upending of gender codes, as two women must work out a survival plan after an opportunistic ‘heist’ gone wrong.
This is the worst ‘Matrix’ by miles—a tediously talky, muddled mess of meta-recursive ideas that dilutes the mythology that made the trilogy, flawed as it may be, such a blast.
A landmark ‘90s sci-fi masterpiece with that rare combo of style and substance—two decades later, it loses none of its sobering philosophical inquiry.
