Review of Johnny Mnemonic (1995) by Nick B — 02 Sep 2013
Johnny Mnemonic isn't a great movie, but it is a great story. That is the crux of William Gibson's novels in general, they are fantastic sci-fi, but so much of what happens is internal (to the characters, the 'Net environment, etc) that it is extremely tough to translate to the screen.
That more than anything else is where the film fails. Nonetheless for fans of Gibson and/or 90's futurism via special effects, it's still a fun watch.
