I had absolutely low expectations for this film. I have to say that flat out. I really was expecting a cheap rip-off B flick that was trying to capitalize on the popularity of The Matrix. What I got wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

I'm not going to say I was "surprised", but I was pleased.

The whole premise of the film is the creation of a completely realistic simulated world, that you can enter into and interact with, that is just as real as if you were there. That's no secret, and you can see the borrowed overtones. Let's just say the final twist in the film is rather Shakespearean.

I have to put this one on the shelf with Point Break. You know what's coming, and there's no new ground broken here, but it is entertaining and well done. Still a solid rent.

Deja Vu. That's the bottom line in this film. It's well directed and acted. Production values are good. The story is solid and something that you can get into, but when push comes to shove, this is a gimmick film. If you couldn't get enough of the Matrix check this one out.
