Before I start this review, I will let you guys know that this review may contain some spoiler alerts, viewer discretion is advised. Virtual Assassin (or Cyberjack outside the US) is a 1995 direct-to- video action sci-fi movie starring the one & only, Michael Dudikoff. The plot of this film is about a group of assassins trying to get the virus in order to conquer the world, it leaves us to the Janitor Nick (aka Michael Dudikoff) to stop them from taking over the world. This movie had potential to be decent, but instead it ended up being quite lame & forgettable. The action scenes are alright & some special effects are alright as well, but crippled with a poor & cliché as hell storyline, sub par acting, uninteresting characters and more. I'll give this movie a straight up 4 out of 10. Unless you have nothing else better to do, I suggest you skip this movie, the end.Rated R for strong action violence, coarse language, and a graphic nudity scene.

(Credit to Dragon Antulov) In the near future Nassim, terrorist leader, storms computer company headquarters. His aim is deadly computer virus that could bring him world domination. Nick, company janitor and ex-cop, will get in his way.This is one of Dudikoff's worst STV movies, and that's saying something. I like him, but he's made a lot of stinkers. This is a typical futuristic action/thriller that lacks imagination and entertainment. It's overly talky and quite boring as well. I didn't expect much to begin with and that's exactly what I got. It's filled with annoying baseball references as well. Dudikoff tries hard, but doesn't have much to work with except some natural charisma. Rest of the cast are amateurish. Even die-hard Dudikoff fans will struggle to get into thisDUD

CYBERJACK (or VIRTUAL ASSASSIN, as it's known in the States) is one of Dudikoff's weakest movies, despite some good moments and Brion James at his over-the-top best. Dudikoff's character, as ex-cop now working as a janitor(!) at a computer company, remains something a mystery throughout the film. He appears to be killed in the film's prologue, but no mention is made afterwards of how he survived. There are hints that maybe he's some kind of "virtual" version of his former self, but that plot point is never carried out with. (It's like trying to figure out if Deckard was a human or a Replicant in BLADE RUNNER.) James shows up with his motley crew of Village People rejects to steal a computer virus and have it implanted in himself. The effects are mediocre, some better than others, none of them anything special. My favorite moment is the sequence where Dudikoff uses a series of transmitter cubes that project holographic images of himself, leading some guards on a wild goose chase through the halls, culminating in a funny moment in which the real Dudikoff is painfully revealed to one guard. The effects of a large robot (like the one in ROBOCOP) are decent, but otherwise, it's a pretty lackluster film of interest only to Dudikoff completists.

This film didn't leave much of an impression on me, and that's about what I expected. The action is okay, the humour is generally sad, and the plot is competent, but certainly nothing to brag about. This film is also VERY predictable, but then again, I've never seen a sci-fi action flick that wasn't. So basically, if you're a fan of the genre, then there's no reason for you not to like this film, but I have a strong feeling that most people would get little or no enjoyment out of a movie this forgettable.
