Action Hero MoviesThis movie is like a cross between Knight Rider and Terminator, mixed in with a massive dose of dull suspense-minded hollow drama.
It starts off a bit boring, in a non-descript way, but within the first 15 minutes the backstory is built — an AI controlled car went out of control, crashed, and a gang of thugs murdered the wife when they were both injured. A bit gloomy, to say the least, but it sets the scene for what’s to come, which gets quite cool at times. By half an hour in, the star of the show has been tricked into getting an ‘upgrade’ courtesy of an AI chip; although if you’re seen this movie before, you may be tempted to fast forward to the slow, dull & gloomy suspenseful between patches — between the talking and the real action — there’s a lot of them, especially early on.
The back end was a mix of semi cool scenes and distastefulness. The very ending was distasteful too. Considering its balance of pros & cons, overall I rate it Bang Average.
