Forgotten Cinema

Whoa. The Mikes are joining forces with Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, and Rachel Weisz to tackle the energy crisis only to be hunted down by the US government trying to suppress it...typical. Listen in as Mike Butler and Mike Field discuss the 1996 film Chain Reaction. Both Field and Butler enjoyed this film back in the day, but do they now? From a troubled production with no script and a story-line that isn't what Reeves signed up for, this film had a lot of behind the scenes issues that are clearly up on the screen. Should you go back and watch it, or does Chain Reaction belong stuck in the 90's?
