Sardines? Are these sardines?

"Lesser results" of "tangible evil" could have been found if "Morgan Fairchild" played "the bad guy" in this "similarly unplanned" "never a good time"; any "dogged pursuer" of a movie fan knows when you "watch great" "cameos" onscreen "in a room", the "decidedly different" "almost do" "crazy things" - this explanation is "without answers", but all fans do "inexplicably" agree on it.

[whooa] It is never a good time when Morgan Freeman (decidedly different from Morgan Fairchild who cameos in "Freaked") plays the bad guy. No, Chain Reaction is not all that good of a movie, despite how hard he tries. I really do wish it were a good one. It has a lot of potential, but it just seems to fall short. Oh well.

[whoa] Keanu's agent, talking about this movie, says that they did not have an actual script and that everybody just kept going along hoping that they would have one soon. This actually explains a lot about the movie: I'm sure you could put Morgan Freeman and Keanu in a room and watch great things happen--and in this case they almost do--but it's an impossible task if they don't know what they're supposed to be saying to each other. The action sequences feel similarly unplanned, and the whole thing just never comes together.

[whooa] Good enough. Especially considering this movie was made without a screenplay. More or less a replica of "The Fugitive" (set in Chicago, same director, dogged pursuer, innocent accused, true evil in the form of the best friend, etc.) with lesser results (unfortunately). Every time I watch this movie I want it to be great. I think it should be great. Just never is. I remain inexplicably without answers. The leads have chemistry, it is a great idea, tangible evil opposes the heroes in nefarious ways, etc. The whole thing remains static and without urgency despite good work from the lead (a young up-and-comer named Keanu Reeves). Would like them to get this same group of people together again to make a movie, but this time with a different (better? actual?) screenwriter and one of those crazy things called a "script."
