Andrew Davis in the 1996 thriller chain reaction “Keanu Reeves plays Eddie Kasalivich, the University of Chicago, who monitors a special scientific experiment to convert hydrogen to energy. Eddie is not a genius, but he knows how a water -filled chain reaction works. It looks like the world’s energy supply problems are solved.
Of course, this immediately begins a shady blanket where unknown conspiracy blasts the chain reaction chamber and Eddie is framed to destruction. (Explosion takes eight whole city blocks.) Innocent researchers are killed, so Eddie has to go for a running physicist called Lily, Rachel Weisz, a current “Constantine” star played by Reeves. Of course, they need to find a way to prove their innocence and find out who would like to destroy their energy test. Morgan Freeman is also one of the conspiracy.
If you do not remember the “chain reaction”, don’t feel bad. It is a kind of forgetting movie that came and went in late summer 1996 without too many people noticed. Reeves had not yet received a crash course in Kung Fu “Matrix” And so it may not have been sure of the box office, where a $ 50 million picture deserves just over $ 60 million in the box office (which is a bomb on Hollywood). Rather, the “chain reaction” was one of the movies you probably watched on cable TV in the late 90s. At that time, you may even have even passed the copies of several “chain reactions”, which is on the way to rent a more interesting movie. Even Reeves does not like the “chain reaction”.
The manuscript of the chain reaction changed without the information of Reeves
In 2001, five years after the “chain reaction” hit theaters, Reeves admitted Swim There were a number of problems in the film, most of which was due to its script (credited to JF Lawton and Michael Bortman). He stated that he selects his acting role based on the richness and/or plot of his characters (unlike the commercial potential of the film) and that he signed a “chain reaction” because he liked Edde a lot. However, in the manuscript he read, the character was closer Archy Hitchcock protagonistie a misplaced but dangerous man in the family. It changed dramatically immediately before shooting, leaving the Reeves Cold project. As he said:
“[W]The chicken I got there was a different movie. Originally I was married. I had this child and I did this study and I did not know that I had this effect when I was studying. And someone was killed. And I unfortunately had these. And I try to stop what I do but they can’t give me, so they are chasing me. And then suddenly I turned this 24-year-old into machinery. And I turned to Andrew Davis and said, ‘What happened to a movie I said yes? What happened to this manuscript? Where did it go? ‘And he said, “No, I got something better,” so I just had to go with it. “
In the last movie, Eddie is a much less interesting character that expresses a little more than the sharp determination of the hero of the general activity. Reeves doesn’t do much, but then there is not much to do with an Eddie character. Just like the movie around him, the Eddie -type sinks into the background, a forgotten element in a forgetting movie.
The “chain reaction” has an approval rating of 18% Rotten tomatoes Based on 34 reviews. Most critics quickly used the words “generic” and “formula” to describe it. It is a completely insignificant movie, and this article may be one of the few times in the last 30 years that someone has bothered to point out.
