This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

I'll tell you why so serious

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I don't like sci-fi and i especially don't like the players in this blown up piece of garbage pretending to be a movie...every cia agent looks exactly like the typical criminals in other films and tv shows...where the heck is jack armstrong...oh, perhaps its james west, ie; robert conrad...if so he didn't pull it off...much like most of the work in his compendium...it dragged on and on and on until i finally quit watching and slept like a log

An ex-CIA operative is convinced by his old boss to return to action one last time to help track down a rogue agent who is going around killing people connected with the Agency. The only trouble is that the said agent is seemingly a lethally designed cyborg.This is a mid-80's TV movie, so it's probably fair to say that expectations should be lowered accordingly. Seeing as it was released in 1986, it's only fair to surmise that it derives much of its influence from the recent smash hit film The Terminator. Obviously, it's a very poor man's Terminator though. But its combination of sci-fi with paranoid political intrigue was not such a bad concoction to be fair. It's delivered with just enough effort to ensure it's watchable. But it's best to accept in advance that the thrills on offer in this one are of the bargain basement variety.

Man this had so many actors that I was familiar with that I thought this would a decent movie, well not so much. It is pretty trite and the plot line is easy enough to figure out. A retired agent (Conrad) is lured out of retirement to pursue, wait for it, a robot assassin. This robot is targeting a list of assassination targets since his maker has died. Karen Austen plays Mary Casallas as the female lead and of course she ends up becoming Conrad's love interest down the line, she is an agent who worked with the robot designer when he was designing and building the robot. They finally find the journals the scientist has left behind in a hidden storage unit. Using the information obtained from the journals and Mary's insights They eventually trap the robot in a sealed room where he self destructs.

Rugged former secret government agent Henry Stanton (a fine performance by Robert Conrad) gets called out of retirement by the agency he used to work for to stop crafty, lethal and resourceful renegade cyborg assassin Robert Golem (nicely essayed with smooth intensity by Richard Young). Shrewd'n'sassy scientist Mary Casallas (winningly played by the fetching Karen Austin) helps Stanton out. Writer/director Sandor Stern relates the involving plot at a snappy pace, develops a good deal of tension, stages the action scenes with considerable aplomb, and further spices things up with a slyly amusing sense of deadpan humor. Conrad and Austin display a pleasingly casual and engaging rapport as the likable lead characters; they receive excellent support from Robert Webber as Stanton's huffy, slippery superior Calvin Lantz, Jonathan Banks as Lantz's steely partner Earl Dickman, Jessica Nelson as alluring, unsuspecting barroom pick-up Ann Walsh, and Nancy Lenehan as Mary's steady gal pal Grace Decker. Moreover, the violence is surprisingly rough and brutal stuff for a made-for-TV feature. Chuck Arnold's polished cinematography does the trick while Anthony Guefen supplies an effectively groovy'n'moody score and the special effects are pretty nifty and convincing. A neat little item.
