Do you
enjoy action? Do you love explosions? Well if you like to see these things
then maybe this B-grade movie is for you.
Cody Culp (Bradley Gregg) is a man just released from prison and his aim is to
lead a quiet life, out of trouble. The stint in prison has left him too many
scars for him to blow his parole. Cody is picked up by his two brothers Sonny
(Darren E. Burrows) and Angel (Joshua Miller)and he leaves to find the world
in a terrible state of disarray. People take drugs, live in cohorts with
street gangs and go to errr…school…Huh…Well yes they do but only to act up and
fight with each other. The school discipline is a mess and the school
principal calls in some help from Mega-tech. A cyborg creation company. They
pose as teachers and take the law into their own hands to enforce discipline.
The audience ends up finding out that these cyborgs have their roots set
firmly in military. Then everything goes wrong and the androids end up
killing the students. Cody saddles up with his love interest, Christine
Langford (Traci Lin), the principles daughter and they try to make sense of
the mayhem. Sounds up like a plot thought up by a 14 year old don’t you
think. To make matters worse it is a movie classified only for adults with
R-rating.
This
movie looked to be ok when I first looked at the cover, although it did
instantaneously seem like it was a rip off of Terminator. Which it is
unfortunately. There is also sets that look a bit like Mad-max without the
big budget and star actors. This movie reeks of b-grade quality. The one
liners, “I trust him like a vampire giving me a blowjob” did not enthral me
much. If you enjoyed that one liner there are plenty more and I commend you in
enjoying that humour (sort of).
The music and sound is of a reasonable standard and probably is the best part
of this production. The only fault with this was that the punching audio
effects sound very eighties quality. The special effects are ok but nothing
spectacular.
In one scene when Cody Culp and the principles daughter hop on a bike and
travel to the cyborgs home. The effects are ACTUALLY believable, just pause
for a moment soak in that blown away rush, WOW. In seriousness though this
was probably one of the most impressive parts of the film. Other
quasi-impressive parts include when the cyborgs rip their skin off and hunt
down the students Terminator style. Pity we have seen it before and done so
much better. Other than that I would recommend to anyone just looking to
escape this world and not have to think about it. If you liked Terminator or
Mad-max to the brink of insanity, then yeah, I would recommend it.
