It took me quite a while to get my hands on this one after reading about it on a list of forgotten and underrated sci-fi films. The wait was worth it because as much as it's forgotten, Circuitry Man is also criminally underrated. It's not your conventional post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick as it's focus really isn't on action scenes or anything. It's more of a crime thriller/road trip movie set against a vividly science fiction backdrop. There's parts that remind me of an old school on-the-run noir flick where the protagonists are trying to escape with a bunch of diamonds or something and the mob is after them. Well, same thing here pretty much except instead of diamonds... we have computer chips.
