![Chain Reaction [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZEub6B9DL.jpg)
Product Description Eddie Kasalivich (Keanu Reeves) and Lily Sinclair (Rachel Weisz) are part of a team of scientists who have developed a new energy source. When their lab is sabotaged and their team leader killed, they become prime suspects. They set out to clear their names and find the real culprit, but the man with the key to the solution is a powerful bureaucrat (Morgan Freeman), who may, or may not, be on their side. .co.uk Review Anyone want to venture a guess that Keanu Reeves was sorry he passed up Speed 2 to make this turkey? Both a ridiculous suspense piece about a renegade intelligence community and an ill-considered hunk of do-gooder agitprop about alternative energy technology, Chain Reaction makes Reeves and almost everyone else involved look about as dumb as dumb can be. Hollywood's own Little Buddha plays a streetwise lab technician who survives an organised assault on his hydrogen-power project. The FBI assumes he's really a spy working for some foreign power, but the truth is that a CIA offshoot is behind the project's funding. Morgan Freeman plays the ramrod-straight company man who sabotages Keanu's excellent experiment, and Rachel Weisz portrays a physicist who goes on the run with the alleged saboteur. Directed by Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), who seems more interested in seeing how many absurd places he can mount a chase scene than offering a solid clue as to who these characters are and why we should care about them. --Tom Keogh, .com

Conspiracy film from the usual USA genre of big business protectionism.
Conspiracy film done well.Somewhat dated but it will occupy some of the lockdown moments.Go for it!

Poignant & well made.
Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz both looking very young in this excellent film as scientists suddenly finding themselves caught up in a much larger world than they imagined of intrigue and political dark agendas. As relevant, profound today as when it was made. No doubt most will, sadly, write it off as a quirky conspiracy-theory type story, none-the-less this is the kind of film that needs constantly making to at least try to wake people up to the reality of how politics and the selfish machinations of the power-hungry try to shape what goes on.In the same vein as The China Syndrome and Enemy of the State.Poignant and well made.

Not too taxing
I got this film for something to watch/listen to while doing tedious, mind-numbing work at home. This work isn't difficult but is very time consuming. In order for me to avoid loosing my mind while doing it I like to put on a DVD that has a reasonably good story so that I can pretend that I am relaxing rather than working. There is enough action on the screen to keep me interested if I want to watch it but at the same time is not to hard to follow if I have work to do. I wouldn't be a huge fan of Keanu Reeves but this film suits him perfectly.
