Johnny Mnemonic
"The Ultimate Hard Drive."
(1995)
Director: Robert Longo
Writer: William Gibson
Genre: Cyberpunk
Cast:
Plot Synopsis:
Plot taken (sorta) from William Gibson's cyberpunk short story by the samename. Johnny, an information receptacle, has too much valuable information concerning Nerve Attenuation Syndrome crammed into his brain and will die if it isn't released soon. This suspiciously reminds me of "Finals Week" at Cornell.
Favorite Moments:
- The opening scene with Keanu in black briefs & a hotel hooker.
- Dina Meyer straddling Keanu Reeves and haggling a price for saving his head.
- Henry Rollins as Spider, the amicably tough and thoroughly competent doctor
- Dolph Lundgren as the absolutely psycho, virtually unstoppable Street Preacher.
- Ice-T as the low-tech J-Bone.
- A funky Zentropa reunion with Udo Kier and Barbara Sukowa
