Perception_de_Ambiguity Recently I noticed that for some reason I seem to be really into mid-90's action B-movies, or maybe I just got lucky with the ones I saw. A few days ago I watched 'The Demolitionist' which can easily be written off as a Robocop rip-off and while the basic idea certainly is taken from Robocop it is very much its own film. The psychological main conflict is that the resurrected female cop (who still has full control over herself) isn't comfortable with the fact that she is dead yet functioning better than ever thanks to her new high-tech blood. It's the kind of film in which every single character is morally degenerated and capable of anything, they all just have different motivations and enemies. It's totally over the top, which goes for the performances as well as for the visual style. Half the movie is shot with tilted camera angles and other crazy perspectives, the light often is extremely artificial looking (usually blue).It's mindless and the moment is more important than the whole but it does have a story and a sense of progress which keeps the ball rolling until the end (where it eventually falls apart, unfortunately). One interesting touch is how bullet impacts are visualized. Instead of blood spurting a fine red dust comes out of the guy who gets hit, so that he goes down in a red cloud. Cheap? Well, it's expressionistic.Most interestingly I found out that all those mid-90's action B-movies I like have a common staff member - supervising sound editor Patrick M. Griffith. If you liked 'The Demolitionist' I guess I can recommend other films I enjoyed as much and in which making this man happens to have been involved: Mean Guns, Retroactive, Omega Doom, and Death Machine, which are all much better enjoyed in their original aspect ratio but can be difficult to find this way on purchasable data storage devices.

descolada99 This movie has no redeeming value. If it is a satire then why did they plan sequels? Only good satire has sequels, and then rarely. The effects are bad. The guns she uses never have to reload. She's impervious to grenades. The acting is some of the worst ever captured on celluloid. It's just plain bad. I wish I could give it a negative rating.

dreadful-2 Look, this film is a SATIRE!!!!! Get It???? It's a CAMP FILM!!!! It was done *beautifully*! Nicole was GREAT, Great, Great, and so was the rest of the cast, especially the Mayor and her "accomplices. The whole feel of the film was exquisitely "dark" and "ominous", and is so effective. I have watched it several times, and i recommend all to view it again, in the light of a SATIRE. Then, you will really appreciate what this film accomplishes! And, enjoy the heck out of it!BTW, it was originally supposed to be the 1st in a series, but unfortunately was insufficient in the box office to justify a sequel. That's a shame. Watch it again, you'll see, it's addictive!

George_Bailey Yeeesh...a rating of 4!? What's with *that*? This is one of the most hilariously terrible action sci-fi movies ever made, my friends and brothers. Lets talk about effects. Yes..the blood is actually *smoke powder* which seems to leak from the villains once they're shot. Terrible explosions and pyrotechnics, including inexcusably horrible gunfire effects. The acting is terrible, and will haunt your nightmares. You have been forewarned, comrades. Be wary!
