“Deep Cuts” is a new series celebrating lesser known films and performances from the careers of major cinema icons.
One of the true movie stars of the post-modern era, Keanu Reeves has helped redefine both the sci-fi and action genres with his portrayals of Neo in The Matrix and the unstoppable assassin John Wick in the eponymous gun-fu franchise. But those two great performances only scratch the surface of a truly varied and impressive film career that has spanned four decades. In our inaugural showcase of “Deep Cuts,” we take a look a quartet of equally mind-bending cinematic oddities from the fringes of Reeves’ filmography.
Synopsis: In this film based on the William Gibson story, Johnny (Keanu Reeves) is a data courier who has a secret stash of information implanted into his mind. However, the data will kill Johnny if he cannot retrieve it within 48 hours. Accompanied by physically enhanced bodyguard Jane (Dina Meyer), Johnny sets out to acquire the passwords he needs to save himself. Worse yet, he is hunted by gangster Shinji (Denis Akiyama) and businessman Takahashi (Takeshi), both of whom seek the data Johnny possesses.
