Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Just before this film was released, TV and radio spots were issued that featured a rap score not used in the film itself. The score was performed by Charles Jackson a.k.a. C.J. SKYY and Michael Haney a.k.a. Ice Mike. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: We're shown a close-up of Eve's foot pressing down hard on the gas (but not the brake), yet the following shot shows the car peeling out (which can only be done while pressing the gas and brake pedals simultaneously). more
Quotes:
Colonel Jim McQuade: Well this is quite some toy you have yourselves here gentlemen. I suppose you want me to put it back in its box. more

You're gonna need more than flowers and sweet talk to win this one over!, 21 March 2002
Author: Noel Bailey (uds3@hotmail.com) from Longmont: Colorado US

Awesomely underwhelming tale of a scientist who designs a female robot, half WESTWORLD half TERMINATOR, modelled on her own personality, emotions and thought-processes.

Sometime Dutch actress Renee Soutendijk, whom one might unkindly describe as Lee Remick's less attractive sister (on a good day) has her hands full when EVE turns feral and runs amok. Gregory Hines, hopelessly miscast in his role as a Wesley Snipes PASSENGER 57 type operative, heads up the chase to defuse Eve with Ms Soutendijk's somewhat reluctant help.

Looking rather dated these days, especially by 90's standards, the film gets nowehere at a remarkably slow pace leading up to the subway climax which at least heralds the end of the movie!

Yawn.....next please?
