2% of the global population disappears and everything continues on as usual probably.
Mediocre at best. Maybe something will happen later, but they sure as shit don’t get anywhere near to some point. It’s just a drama that stretches a premise.

A lawyer can’t lie, and goes insane because it’s Jim Carrey.
It’s Jim Carrey as himself, so you have to cope with the idiocy. It’s okay in that context but it’s not for me.

A hacker learns reality is not as it appears.
A sci-fi ripoff of elements of Lucid dreaming, with elements taken from the Neuromancer/Shadowrun “cyberpunk” genres.
A pioneering movie for special effects, which have held up quite well, and its general pot and atmosphere. Technically not original for science fiction fans, but great nonetheless.
One of my favourites, although I really wish the actor playing Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) was good looking.

A man with particular skills find himself among honest townsfolk gripped by criminals.
Simple and reasonably entertaining. Recommended especially for the people who like gritty low-tech spy-superhero movies.
Set in Italy, so there is some spoken Italian.

I didn’t like it compared to The Stepford Wives – (1975 movie).
Based on The Stepford Wives – (1972 book), by Ira Levin

An assassin takes on an enthusiastic apprentice.
Reasonably watchable.
Inspired by The Mechanic – (1972 movie) which is much better.

A mad scientist comes to collect an animal experiment, but it is sentient and has friends.
Pretty good. I feel like I missed a couple of movies explaining what the hell was going on with some of it, but it’s still watchable.
See also The Secret of NIMH – (1982 movie) in a sense.
