That was an excellent one.
Don't listen to the negative reviews
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
An atrocious, total rip-off of ROBOCOP, from start to finish, mean-spirited and excessively violent. This film has a recycled plot, a lead actress from BAYWATCH, and not much else - just senseless action, shooting and a couple of linking plot scenes. The poor production values mean that it looks cheap throughout, and there isn't much in the way of good action choreography to recommend either.All it does have going for it is some excess violence (just what I like to see) and a parade of cameo appearances from numerous '80s horror movie stars! These include Bruce Abbott (RE-ANIMATOR) as a stuffy doctor, Heather Langenkamp (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), Dan Hicks (Joe from EVIL DEAD 2), Reggie Bannister (the PHANTASM series) Joseph Pilato (Rhodes from DAY OF THE DEAD), Tom Savini (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN) and finally everyone's favourite shemp, Bruce Campbell (THE EVIL DEAD). Phew! In this case, the film is worth watching just to see if you can spot all of them. If you're looking for solid entertainment, however, then I would advise you to look elsewhere...
Decent B-scifi/actioner with a fast pace and definite comic book sense about it. The most fascinating thing about it is that nearly every single scene has a well-known face from the late 70s/early 80s horror genre. Kurtzman called in a number of favors from actors he had worked make-up on in various films for this one. Nicole Eggert is in top physical form and rather pleasing on the eye as the heroine, and Richard Grieco is gloriously hammy as the villain.The flaw that really got me was that "The Demolitionist" (a title which is never actually used in the movie to describe the "Lazarus project") had a pair of guns that fired hundreds of rounds per minute, yet the bad guys only got a few wounds even at point-blank range. I suppose if you can get past this minor detail, it's worth a quick viewing.
This movie has no redeeming value. If it is a satire then why did they plan sequels? Only good satire has sequels, and then rarely. The effects are bad. The guns she uses never have to reload. She's impervious to grenades. The acting is some of the worst ever captured on celluloid. It's just plain bad. I wish I could give it a negative rating.
No real acting, plot holes large enough to drop a planet through, and special effects about a decade out of date are the high points of this movie. Our "hero" lives through nanites that have replaced her blood. She has barrel-less machine pistols with an unlimited supply of ammunition and a fire rate that a video game would envy. The black comedy that made Robocop entertaining has been replaced with gimmicks and bad acting. This movie makes the Power Rangers look like high art. I caught about 10 minutes of it before I went to sleep a few nights ago and was curious, I'm glad the movie was a $0.50 rental so I didn't waste too much money. Avoid this movie, if you want a cop shoot-up, stick with Robocop.
