What it has for certain, and what it has in spades, are some very real ideas. And, to paraphrase this V fellow, ideas are box office proof.

This is a thinking persons action film and all the more entertaining for it.

The result is a movie that has been made in the Wachowski style but lacks their distinctive visual flair.

Yes, the movie is too long, and given to repetition, but who cares Its exciting, unpredictable, and an inversion of the language of the powerful.
