Viewing Notes
I have never seen this movie.
It looked like just the trash thing I needed tonight.
Total trash and misogynistic trash at that. But it’s so damn goofy especially for its time with that hacker nonsense (man this really is a 1990s flick that just happened to get released in 2001) that I felt a bit nostalgic for Y2K and all that. Has some ludicrous setpieces which I’d love to see a nice BTS making-of featurette. Hugh Jackman looks the same then as he does now but it’s clear he was still jacked from making X-Men. Halli Berry is exquisite but given so little to do other than be leered at it’s a fucking crime.
