So, my buddy wanted to go see this movie, and we hadn't gone to the theatres for a while, so I thought sure . . . What the hey, why not. Another one of those films that I knew nothing about the plot, I just knew it was an action movie with Morpheus and That guy from training day in it.

We had to sit in the front row . . . (hate that), but were immediately immersed in an extremely fun movie.

Great plot, great acting, great action. I haven't seen the original, which I guess was a John Carpenter movie, but this one rocked my socks off. Fishborne plays a thug who is famous for various things, including taking six bullets and killing a cop. Ethan Hawke plays the title character and pulls it off very well. Leguizamo plays a psycho inmate and is a little annoying, but he pulls it off so well, he keeps it from going over the edge into a distraction.

Very good movie, I'd give a strong 8.5/10
