Watch 1995’s Johnny Mnemonic before it leaves Netflix on June 30
The 1995 cyberpunk action film “Johnny Mnemonic,” starring Keanu Reeves, is scheduled to leave Netflix on June 30. Loosely adapted from a short story by William Gibson, the pioneering author of the cyberpunk genre, the film showcases one of Reeves’ rare departures from his typical understated acting style. While Reeves is generally known as a dependable performer around whom films are built, “Johnny Mnemonic” allows him to deliver a more theatrical and visually striking performance in an action-heavy cyberpunk thriller. The film is a notable part of 1990s science fiction cinema and represents an interesting chapter in both Reeves’ filmography and cyberpunk’s film adaptations. With the film’s removal from Netflix approaching at the end of the month, audiences interested in classic cyberpunk cinema or exploring Reeves’ diverse range of performances have a limited window to watch the film on the platform.
