User Reviews

Low Grade

Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world that had mastered the art of cyborg creation? We could have robot butlers serving us drinks and killing masked terrorists. That's essentially T-Force in a *ahem* box. In the not too distant future when law enforcement is unable to cope with high risk maximum loss situations they call in T-Force. A group of elite cyborgs who were made specifically to deal with situations of deadly peril and possible human loss.

Unfortunately T-Force will do anything necessary to complete their mission within acceptable parameters including the death of hostages. Of course that's seen as unacceptable and the future of T-Force is all but sealed. They are to be dismantled, but wait - oops - it turns out they don't like the sound of that - so they escape and here enters Jack Scalia as the guy given the plum job of bringing them in a la Blade Runner.

What follows is the usual assortment of cheap action segments and an underlying question of morals. Are the cyborgs people? Do they deserve the same rights? Can cyborgs have babies? That sort of nonsense. Jack Scalia and director Richard Pepin team up and once again we find the same routine with Pepin bringing the movie in at a certain budget and Scalia turning in yet another burned out lone cop role. Which must be getting tough. T-Force doesn't fool anyone. It's a mindless low budget action flick that borrows upon ideas from other films. I don't see how you could be surprised nor left feeling cheated by T-Force. It has a fun moment or two, but you know it's not really worth your time.
