I like both Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman - but this movie was pretty bad...
Though the acting was by no means terrible, it suffered because of two very common flaws:
01. The transparent, poorly developed love-interest, and 02. The action sequences they showed you in the trailer were the ONLY action scenes in the movie...
I don't mind not having action in a movie actually, but the film producers (and whoever else) led you to believe this was an action-based movie, when it was really a drama that had the foundations of a good idea, but ultimately failed in it's attempts...
One other interesting point to note is that the producers of this movie also produced 'The Fugitive' with Harrison Ford - the similarities of this movie to 'Chain Reaction' are amazing - a man wrongly accused on the run from the law trying to find the actual bad-guys while being aided by the bad-guys themselves...In addition, the 'theme-song' is almost identical to that of 'The Fugitive'...!
[3/10]
