Story Synopsis:
Johnny (Reeves) is a computer data courier who is tired of his lonely job transporting information with his mind. He had sacrificed his childhood memories to make room for a brain implant of high-tech computer chips. After uploading a top-secret program Johnny is put on the run by a powerful crime syndicate who wants what’s in his head. Johnny must find a way to download the data before a syndicate killer squad gets to him or the data causes him to suffer a total meltdown.
LaserDisc Picture:
The 1.82:1 picture exhibits variable quality, particularly in sharpness and detail, and fleshtones that are not accurate. However, colors are vivid, and blacks are deep and solid. Shadow delineation is excellent, but there is slight noise noticed in the darker scenes.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is extremely spacious with aggressive surrounds, deep and powerful bass below 25Hz, and superb stereo spatial effects. The music is terrific and the dialogue, natural.
