Review

  • Ahhh, those lovely 90s… especially the beginning of the 90s… when we had those low budget, simple and somewhat likable movies… OK, when it comes to this one… it's low budget, simple… but not likable. This is one of those movies… during which you basically turn off your brain and enjoy it. Don't expect some good acting, script, adventure, or anything else. We have a solidly fun action scenes and that's all. David Bradley is back, with his usual appearance just like in the first film… dark clothes, white athletic shirt, unshaved, waist bag, husky, quiet (badass) voice and of course… martial arts skills, the only thing that actually appreciate for Bradley. He is Jack Ryan (a usual hero name), a DEA that captures a dangerous criminal Starkraven (pretty generic and usual name for a villain), and to increase the plot intensity, Ryan killed Starkraven's brother… so, the movie didn't even begin properly and we already have personal story… Shortly after arresting Starkraven, he is sent to a scientific facility where he's turned into a cyborg… a little naive I feel… always picking those evil villains to be a proud solution of scientists who made some miscalculations… To add that actor who played Starkraven (Morgan Hunter), is nothing special… he was picked for a part, definitely because of his bald, menacing looks. When he becomes a cyborg, his voice changes, and it's ridiculously enhanced. The cyborg make up is… funny… you can clearly see that their feet, hands and some other body parts are in rubber, all cyborg units look stuffed… like they suffered some taxidermy syndrome. So, Jack finds out that Starkraven is a cyborg, and he went on to stop him. And Jack pops cyborgs like a candy… just like we saw in the first film, so this means that Jack is using his experience with cyborgs pretty good. So… overall, a dumb, but enjoyable low budget film, to also mention that it contains a scene that is stolen from Terminator 2… he he he… Enjoy it, if you want.
