Chain Reaction

A tired, formula plot, fixed up with excellent actors. gets boring with non-stop chasing, fleeing, improbabilities, and highly intense danger throughout. I was surprised Reeves and Freeman would accept such a non-story.... Full review

OK let me start out by saying this could have been a cool movie, IF it wasn't a recycled version of the "The Fugitive". OK it's the same supporting cast (playing the same roles), setting, director, production company but come... Full review

The frozen landscapes are impressive. Ice-covered lakes, stark bare tree trunks that look black against the snow. It gets so cold that at night you hear trees crack when their sap freezes. In upstate New York, I used to stare... Full review

It is not a perfect movie with its plot holes and some cheesy action scenes but it is fun to watch and a good movie to kick back and relax to I actually enjoy most of Keanu's movies. Keanu Reeves takes a lot of heat about being a bad actor. ... Full Review

Chain Reaction" is heavy on the muddle, which is why we don't mind that most of the time seems spent watching Eddie and Lily run from the police and the seemingly endless permutations of bad guys in heart-pounding action. But the facile (and not terribly dialog-strong) script from J.F. Lawton and Michael Bortman skips along the surface of logic and doesn't really offer enough explanation for this to work as an effective intrigue. ... Full Review

But make no mistake; Chain Reaction is a great movie that deserves to be seen. However, for what it is, it's a very entertaining film with an excellent audio/video package that certainly will not disappoint. ... Full Review

The impending disappointment of this supposed action-thriller is foreshadowed at the onset by kicking things off with a boringly mellow title sequence. You'd expect the letters of the words "Chain Reaction" to domino-effect themselves into an adrenaline-pumping mega-explosion or something... ... Full Article

A decent take on the "Heaven & Hell" genre with excellent special effects. It sure looks cool, but it's a cool looking mess. Something great (or at least better) should have come of this. ... Full Article
