Andrew Davis directs a solid action film with Chain Reaction. Keanu Reeves stars as a student researcher who discovers the proper frequency to stabilize a low-cost high-output power alternative powered by hydrogen. Unfortunately, the project is sabotaged and the corrupt powers that be insinuate Keanu as one of the leading suspects. It's up to Keanu to uncover the conspiracy and absolve himself! Cue typical hide-and-seek goose chase film. Keanu's acting is slightly above-par which really isn't saying a lot. What really suffers in the film is the dialogue, which is delivered as if it is witty and clever, but really it is pretty terrible. A fun, polished, and well-directed action film, but nothing near as good as Davis' The Fugitive.
7/10
