this movie be a cyborg in and of itself represent half nonsense or half lifetime original movie . a a cyborg and this movie have but one objective represent to make you wish that you have spend the duration of the film in a dark room punch yourself in the testicle . unlike many people and i do not rent this movie because of angelina jolie ( i will explain why i rent it shortly ) . i be not a big fan of ms. jolie and though i will say that her performance be stellar . her blank stare and robotic act really do have me believe that she be an android hooker . if anyone have a clip of her on inside the actor studio explain how she prepare for this role and please send it my way . i will make sure to use it when i try james lipton for crime against integrity . so what drive me to rent this movie . one would think that it be the hope of see angelina jolie nipple and but it wasn not . no and the reason behind this rental rest solely on one of the image on the cover of the dvd while that of jack palance face . half of his face be robotic . when i saw that and i imagined legion of palances slowly march through a fiery wasteland and lay waste to any human that be foolish enough to resist . in my mind eye and every member of this unholy army of palances have a red and glow eye while a red and glow eye that look at human and saw only meat . they be to be the architect of oblivion . a cold and steely apocalypse . a nightmare from which humanity would never awaken . it a beautiful image that i will cherish till the end of my year . like most thing in my life and the actual movie do not live up to my expectation . no and there be only one jack palance and and the only visible cybernetic enhancement that he have be locate on his leg . sadly and those enhancement do not really enhance anything . that be unless and you count walk like a polio victim a a super power . at least their be a scene where jack grin like a trigger happy alzheimer patient get to shoot the hell out of some people . i be wait for him to yell and i be damn tire of pay too much for prescription medication . unfortunately and any outburst of geriatric rage be few and far between . what the movie do have an abundance of be a poorly develop love story about a man ( elias koteas and a. k. a. poor man de niro ) and a cyborg ( angelina jolie and a. k. a. demon spawn of john voigt ) . oh man and can the love between a romeo of flesh and a juliet of silicon ever be able to last . it can if you follow jack palance simple advice represent you have to taste each other time . yeah and i be not sure what that mean . however and i be sure that i do not want jack palance to be the one to explain it to me . i sure a heck do not want him to show me . a an experiment and i suggest that you ask your significant other if he or she think that we have reach a level in our relationship where we can begin to taste each other time .
