UKM: The Ultimate Killing Machine

I got sucked into this because of Michael Madsen, who is working hard to get to his 200th film appearance. He may have well over a dozen appearances this year alone. This was not one of his best, but it was certainly in character and an easy paycheck.

The Army is having problems finding soldiers. Instead of getting out of Iraq, they turn to scientists to develop the Ultimate Fighting Machine. Holy Universal Soldier Batman! Nothing original here.

They experiment with a real war hero (Simon Northwood), but he is too advanced, so they recruit a jock, a nerd, a slut, and a neurotic virgin. War hero gets loose and carnage begins. There is a lot of blood; even a ripped off face, but there just isn't enough action to keep things interesting.

The complete lack of titillation makes this a chase for the out of control machine while the new recruits run around trying to escape. It is probably in the Wat-Mart $5 bin right now. Save your money and watch Near Dark again.

Michael Madsen mumbles his way to another giro check in this horror, where a bunch of annoying teens are pursued through some sort of complex by an unstoppable killer marine. You've seen this film dozens of times over the decades so why bother with this one? No really, I'm asking you. You've got your contemporary annoying teens (drug addict, geek, err…moody one etc) that'll be laughably dated in about ten years, all sent to 'participate' in some experiment to create super soldiers. Blah blah failed experiment escapes. Blah blah running around. Shouting etc. Slight gore even. Cold-hearted scientists. More running around. Sigh.

Honestly, I'm struggling to remember anything out of the ordinary about this one.

The Ultimate Killing Machine is about four kids that are recruited as test subjects into a secret army program that will change them into killing machines. The procedure involves stem cell treatments that enhance the physical attributes of the subjects making them very powerful and also horny. The kids aren't aware that they are test subjects until they start coming back from training with holes in the back of their necks. They figure it isn't such good training when one of the original test subjects breaks free and reeks havoc throughout the installation killing everything in sight except the kids at first. The ultimate battle takes place and the results need to be seen. Relatively good acting, sick script, good cinematography and directing.

"UKM: Ultimate Killing Machine" is a boring, and highly unthrilling movie. The plot: 5 reject teenagers are recruited by the government to test a new drug that makes supersoldiers, run by Major Blevins (Madsen). Unfortunately, one other test subject went insane and now is on the loose...

The whole movie was shot in a building to cut down costs. Apparently, Madsen is expensive. The cast, besides him, is awful. No line of dialogue is timed right, and everybody just yells. There's no motivation or personality for any of the characters. The best part of the movie is the beginning. But after that, it all goes downhill quickly. Madsen's there for a paycheck, but how much could it be? "UKM" is a mess that should be avoided. Unless you like cheap Canadian horror movies...?

Military experiment on unknowing test subjects in this beyond lame heavily clichéd horror flick. Horrid acting, lousy special effects, a moronic plot line, and Michael Madsen collide in what can arguably be said is the worst movie I've seen this year. Mr. Madsen, did you really need the money this bad??? Tp make matters worse all of the characters are horribly annoying and make the minutes I wasted on this festering turd stretch on and on forever making it seem like an eternity. Make no doubt about it, this movie is bad with a capital B in every possible or conceivable way.

My Grade: F
