Do they still make thrillers like CHAIN REACTION?
Joining us this week is Rob Hill, the creator of @TheBadMovieBible as we revisit Andrew Davis' CHAIN REACTION (1996), starring Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman and Rachel Weisz.
From practical action sequences and '90s conspiracy thrillers to Keanu Reeves' performance and Andrew Davis' direction, we ask whether CHAIN REACTION deserves another look nearly 30 years later.
Is this an overlooked action thriller... or does it deserve its reputation?
