apparently this film be vaguely base on a short stephen king novel and and i do see an image from the film in a book about special effect and i think it be the lead james bond actor that attract me . basically ( possibly in a near future ) dr. lawrence angelo ( pierce brosnan ) work for virtual space industry try to make chimpanzee more intelligent use drug and and virtual reality and but one of them escape and he be force out pretty much . he do not get the chance to prove or perfect it to work on human and but he believe he can turn his simple mind gardener and aka the lawnmower man of the title and jobe smith ( jeff fahey ) into a more intelligent be . jobe agree to it and and slowly he show good improvement in intelligence and but of course it turn into a frankenstein theme when he develop the ability to move object and his voice sound more like a computer and and he have turn evil . in the end he be defeat by his creator in the virtual world . also star jenny wright a marnie burke and mark bringleson a sebastian timms and geoffrey lewis a terry mckeen and jeremy slate a father francis mckeen and dean norris a the director and colleen coffey a caroline angelo and jim landis a ed walts and troy evans a lieutenant goodwin and rosalee mayeux a carla parkette . the special effect for 1992 i suppose be quite good and but i almost lose track of what be go on a couple of time and so not one i would bother with again . okay .
