Negative Positive
Title: Before There Was The Matrix, There Was . . .
Review: They Live prefigured "The Matrix" with a much more low-tech and low-budget version of the same idea. More fun too, in a way, because it does not take itself quite as seriously. Roddy Piper's character is wonderful, especially the scene of his first encounter with the sunglasses. I loved his shootout in the bank, and his fight with Keith David in the alley that goes on for ten minutes is truly a classic. If you liked The Matrix, this is definitely worth a look.
