I saw that cameo and said WTF? I didn't know he was going to be in it, but immediately recognized the doofus, "What, me worry?" 60's caricature. Kinda like Ted Turner in Gods and Generals.
And what's with Zion? The place looked like Harlem on Saturday night crossed with Dante's Inferno, complete with mosh pit.
If I were Neo, I'd be wondering if it's worth sacrificing my life for these morons. First impression.
Not art house, just a select audience. Like a Star Wars or a Friday the 13th group.
