	'Johnny Mnemonic' (R)
		"Johnny Mnemonic," a bleak high-tech no-brainer gussied up with computer graphics, explores the consequences of too much input in a future wired for facts, but not for wisdom.
		"Johnny" is a first feature film for both Gibson and director Robert Longo, an artist who has dabbled with music videos, and their inexperience shows in the repetitiousness of the story—one graphically gruesome fight scene after another—and the impoverishment of the characters.
		Johnny Mnemonic is rated R for profanity and violence.

	Review: Johnny Mnemonic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Johnny Mnemonic has an interesting premise: it's the second decade of the twenty-first century and information espionage has become so commonplace that human "couriers" are used to transport electronic data.
		Johnny's head capacity is 80 gigabytes, but he uses a "doubler" to raise it to 160.
		So Johnny's on the run through the decaying, futuristic city of Newark, New Jersey, with no download code, and a protector (Dina Meyer) who's only sticking with him until he comes up with the cash to pay her off, or until she falls in love with him (whichever comes first -- you guess the answer).

	Johnny Mnemonic
		Johnny Mnemonic starts off with some scrolling text, letting us know that corporations have conquered the Earth in 2021 (or is it 2022?).
		Johnny downloads the 320 gigs of data into his 180 gig storage space and is about to leave, when suddenly some Yakuza rush in and start killing everyone.
		He tells Johnny that the information "wet-wire" in his head, can be extracted with a pair of pliers, resulting in Johnny becoming a drooling mongoloid.

	DVD Verdict Review - Johnny Mnemonic
		Johnny (Keanu Reeves) is an information courier, an individual with computer hardware implanted in him that can smuggle classified or rogue data across faction and national borders.
		Johnny is seeking a way out of his chosen career, because in order to fit in the implant hardware he had to lose some long term memory.
		Johnny's clients are a team of renegade corporate scientists who've stolen away from a major medical megacorp with a complete set of data that will enable a cure for a terminal disease sweeping the world (similar to AIDS of the present).

	MRC FilmFinder-Full Record: Johnny Mnemonic
		Mnemonic is a renegade cyber data smuggler who becomes the center of attention when information implanted in his brain is wanted by a wide variety of powerful forces.
		Johnny is at risk not only from the violent thugs sent out to get the data but by the chip planted in his head - if it is not removed, and quickly, his head will explode.
		Johnny Mnemonic is not a good film - its flat and not very well constructed and Reeves is less to blame than the general conceptual flaws of the film.

	Johnny Mnemonic Review - Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension
		Johnny fails to asks, of course, how Jane was able to arrange the impromptu ambush of LWG that saved their lives.
		Johnny replies with a juicy oath (this is the kind of movie that tries to establish its street credentials by having everybody swear all the time), indicating that he’d prefer not to exercise this option.
		Johnny, because he’s the hero, is given the additional handicap of standing on a wooden plank bridge that (for absolutely no reason) is so weak his foot keeps going through it.

		`Johnny Mnemonic" is one of the great goofy gestures of recent cinema, a movie that doesn't deserve one nanosecond of serious analysis but has a kind of idiotic grandeur that makes you almost forgive it.
		Even today, it would be faster, easier and safer to encrypt the data and send it by modem, and by Johnny Mnemonic's time, the world will be wired with fiberoptic cables allowing enormous files to be squirted around the world in seconds.
		The problem is, "Johnny Mnemonic" uses the cyber-visuals entirely as atmosphere.
