Anyone want to venture a guess that Keanu Reeves was sorry he passed up Speed 2 to make this turkey? Both a ridiculous suspense piece about a renegade intelligence community and an ill-considered hunk of do-gooder agitprop about alternative energy technology, Chain Reaction makes Reeves and almost everyone else involved look about as dumb as dumb can be. Hollywood's own Little Buddha plays a streetwise lab technician who survives an organized assault on his hydrogen-power project. The FBI assumes he's really a spy working for some foreign power, but the truth is that a CIA offshoot is behind the project's funding. Morgan Freeman plays the ramrod-straight company man who sabotages Keanu's excellent experiment, and Rachel Weisz portrays a physicist who goes on the run with the alleged saboteur. Directed by Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), who seems more interested in seeing how many absurd places he can mount a chase scene than offering a solid clue as to who these characters are and why we should care about them. --Tom Keogh

 Fantastic Reaction December 20, 2008
Theresa C. Malta (Ohio)
I purchased this product as a gift for a friend of mine who is a total Keanu fan. The item showed up in perfect timing and condition. The squeal of delight I recieved when she opened her gift was thanks enough, but when she watched the movie, she had the perfect reaction. Thank you and I would highly suggest this product for anyone who likes action movies.

I had no recall of this film despite the pedigree of director Andrew Davis and stars Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Brian Cox, and Rachel Weisz. After having seen it I wish it never existed. When this alleged thriller is not formulaic the story line is just plain muddled. At times Davis channels some of the inspiration from his masterwork, "The Fugitive", but all for naught because it's wasted in this pointless exercise. The aforementioned actors who can usually be counted on to elevate material are at a loss in this inert enterprise. Forgettable in the extreme.
 "Kill them all and let God sort out the innocents" February 5, 2008

Eddie Kasalivich (Keanu Reeves) is first among his colleagues searching for free clean energy to better the world. On the eve of what looks like success a horrible accident (yeah right) dispatches Dr. Alistair Barkley (Nicholas Rudall.)
Eddie complains that it was not an accident so of course everyone knows that Eddie is the culprit assisted by colleagues Dr. Lily Sinclair (Rachel Weisz), and Lu Chen (Tzi Ma). While his employer Paul Shannon (Morgan Freeman) is unshakably not sure (why?).
As with most mysteries the only way to prove his innocence is to find the guilty.
All the parts are well played and the story is just in plausibility. The twists and turns will keep you intrigued until the last. Not too long of a chase scene.
Super product and seller! January 23, 2008
James E. Livingston (North Las Vegas, NV)
This is a great movie full of action, and with a super story line regarding the replacement of Fossil Fuels with Hydrogen. The actors do a fine job, and the filming is superb. Highly recommended!
Really good action thriller December 31, 2007
elena j (Chicago)
This is one of my favorite political action thrillers. In addition to the good cast (Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Rachel Weisz, Brian Cox, etc.), the storyline is one which applies just as much today as it did 20 years ago, illustrating that greed and political expediency invariably seem to get the upper hand over real solutions. The film depicts a story wherein a clean, inexpensive alternative energy form is discovered -- but getting it out to the world for practical applications is the problem. Along the way there is lots of action, and good plot twists and turns. If you like this genre, you will enjoy this film.
