Johnny Mnemonic Reviews
Bewildering, nonsensical, and by equal turn genius and downright idiotic, Johnny Mnemonic is a cyberpunk relic you unearth at your own risk.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 8, 2025
There are several major problems with Johnny Mnemonic, and the fact that these problems are each overlayed on top of each other serves to compound the film’s faults
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 7, 2024
Campy yet cerebral...
| Original Score: B | Apr 19, 2024
Johnny Mnemonic is both terrible and brilliant, in equal measure.

As a whole piece, the movie just clicks. It's sprawling and silly and has no right to work at all, but it somehow just does.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 13, 2021
Johnny Mnemonics journey from zero to hero is more prescient than ever in 2022
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2021
It poignantly juxtaposes its futurism with a yearning for the past, in the form of Johnny's abandoned memories. As for Reeves, he is always best when he is calm and frowningly subdued...
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 6, 2021
Reeves leads an international cast of tax breaks in this chintzy cyberpunk thriller.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 28, 2021
It clearly has a difficult time creating an identity more memorable than the various individual pieces that would be reused in subsequent pictures.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 14, 2020
Johnny Mnemonic is no The Matrix; its world-building lacks specifically nuanced grit. But the ideas Gibson thrust forward furthered the cyberpunk conversation onscreen for years to come.

Its a shame that the whole design is so tacky, the realization so simple, devoid of resources and imagination, and that is impossible to highlight anything good about the cast. [Full Review in Spanish]

Reeves showcases his considerable thesping skills in a climactic monologue about... room service.
