Keanu Reeves' bad acting? The fact that the best actors in the
movie were Ice-T and Henry Rollins, both musicians by trade? The skewed
tech? (storage space still in gigs? that many years in the future?). That
the sam (Dolph Lundgren, I think) only got a scant amount of screen time?
That the plot was changed to a save-the-world, do the good thing ending?
That the script relied heavily on cliched representations of
relationships (re Molly and Johnny)?

Seriously, although it did have a couple of good things to use for
a potential SR movie (the Matrix scene, the sam), the cheesy plot, bad
acting, and miscues on future tech just added up to a horrible movie
