The movie it completely ripped off is far superior
How much of a ripoff was it? WB bullied the producers claiming "durr your movie's title is too close to our box office flop Mad City, give us access to sets and costumes or we'll sue". There are scenes in Matrix where they not only used the same sets, but copied camera angles and shots.
...you don't remember Mad City at all, do you? No one does, not even the 2 a-list actors who were in it. Just more corporate Hollywood bullshit to bully the little guy.
