Considering I saw enough of the rest of the movie to know it's bad, the silly "jack in to a dolphin who can solve a code to stop a bomb in your brain from exploding" plot arc is, to me, a good reason to not have watched the rest.

"We put a bomb in your brain" is stupid enough.

Poor Keanu. He really picked some stinkers for a while.

Th... That's the plot of the movie though, that he is a courier who smuggles illicit data in his brain that would otherwise be found if hidden in machines, and the data had a self-destruct on it like sensitive data can in real life.... It's just in real life it's usually just the data that gets destroyed, not the medium it's stored in (Though that can be arranged with the right virus)

It sounds like you just didn't understand the film.

Believe it or not someone can fully understand the plot of a movie and find it to not be worth watching. Especially when that movie is rocking an 18% on rotten tomatoes.

It sounds like you just didn’t understand the film.

Don't act that way.

I know it’s the plot. I’m not sure why you think that necessary makes it not a terrible and very silly movie.
