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!
... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreHe is not a cyborg. Nanotech is not cybernetic. He has no additional parts in his body. Rich Franklin's acting is not bad at all. I wonder if this is the reason his performance in UFC is average now. Anyway he should take some acting lessons to be an action figure. But still his acting promises it. At least filming will save him from being beat up. There is no problem in making a sportsman an actor. He will be better then Arnold and Dolph. We have seen them in screen more then some drama school graduated actors. This may be not fair. But movie cares for movie, if it works then there is no need to limit an athletes movie carrier.A low budget film. Still good to watch.
... View MoreThe main character, Isaac, wasn't a cyborg. He was genetically augmented and had nanobots in his body, but absolutely no cybernetic components, ergo he was not a "cybernetic organism", or "cyborg" for short. In fact, he was never even referred to as being a cyborg in the movie, the title must have been insisted upon by some idiot with the distributors. However, it wasn't a bad movie. The acting was quite competent and I have to say Rich did a good job. As far as cheap movies go, it blew away most of the ones I try to watch on OnDemand and wind up turning off after 10 minutes(case in point, "Pistol Whipped" with that bloated, ridiculously lousy actor Steven Seagal).
