Cyborg Soldier

I am not a huge fan of neither cheap nor expensive action movies, I am however a big fan of UFC.

With the previous movies starring MMA stars like Randy Couture I was severely disappointed by the overall level of professionalism and performance with Scorpion King 2 being probably the worst movie I have seen this year. So you can probably imagine by now that when I've heard about "Cyborg Soldier" I wasn't particularly excited.

I'm not going to review the plot as you can get the idea from the synopsis, it is quite simple BUT the way the movie is done, even though it is low budget actually makes up for it. There's plenty of action, well made fight scenes, even some funny parts (depending on your sense of humour though) and Rich Franklin absolutely rocks. His acting resembles A. Schwarzeneggers in the Terminator, though it's not that extremely "mechanic" and emotionless, after all Isaac is still a human being.

Movie is a must see for any UFC fan and everyone who likes good action movies. It's not Bourne(far from it) but trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Because the actors Tiffani Thiessen and Rich Franklin are so good this movie is quite enjoyable. The bad guys are bad enough so you don't like them and I was rooting for the good guys. Bruce Greenwood is always a perfect bad guy or a perfect good guy ! I may watch this once a year but I do watch it again and again.

I am not sure... Is this movie some bad joke or what... Cyborg Soldier who in fact isn't cyborg soldier, only man that pretend that is a cyborg soldier and tries to do some face impressions like Arnold in Terminator? Or this is just some lame "Terminator like" movie? From the beginning you can sense that there will be no mystery, just some pump ride action and shooting. This B grade movie has nothing new to offer, low scenario, my stomach turns upside down when I see its used in this movie, as well as in million others to. Acting... my goodness... is that a good word for describing the actors? They sucked at all levels...

Why is this movie made? If you ask me, I would say "I don't know." Its like million others B ratted movies, nothing innovative, after hour and a half watching you would regret for spending that time useless... But if you wish action without thinking, when you know the ending after 20 minutes, with not so good acting and every move predictable, then this is movie for you!

(2007) Cyborg Soldier SCIENCE- FICTION/ ACTION DRAMA

Straight-to-rental cyborg flick co-written and directed by John Stead which is not bad, with some decent acting from once known television actress Tiffani Thiessen of Beverly Hills 90210 since this film showed some things I've never saw before on a cyborg film. Situation is, cyborg escapes from gov't facility whose supposed to be the perfect killing machine. He gets chased by men wearing black clothing, orders to kill, execute and facilitate. They're in turn, turn out to be the real bad guys making the cyborg itself to be sympathetic. As the film progresses then with the help of the cop held hostage played by Thiessen, after the rapport she pursues to finding out his origin. With the few action scenes it did have is nothing in comparison to the unique approach of this "cyborg genre" is more fascinating than anything else the film has to offer! All I can say is that with a bigger budget, this film might've been better despite some of it's plot holes- they're are easily overlooked. Influenced by the likes of "Terminator" and the "RoboCop" films, this one does offer a different spin to it which is why it deserves a pass!

Just by the title I was expecting something dismal. Then researching and finding out it's a Canadian movie (I am Canadian), I began to quiver with fear having seen so many "$400 budget" Canadian movies and so many unbelievable or simply overacting talent in Canadian movies.

I rather enjoyed this movie. For lesser known actors, the calibre of acting wasn't bad at all. The storyline was somewhat interesting and there were some mildly humorous parts (diner scene).

Don't rush out to get this thinking it is the must see movie of the decade, but do watch it. Don't expect greatness and you will probably be pleasantly surprised, as I was.
