Okay,I'll admit Solo had a fairly attractive cover to lure me into renting it.But,believe me,when I rented it,I was not disappointed. This is an efficent and well-paced 90 minutes worth of entertainment ,which seems,if you ask me ,to have borrowed off the,believe me,far superior 1995 DTV (direct to video) Matthias Hues vehicle Digital Man in the plot department slightly. Solo (Mario Van Peebles)is an emotionless human andriod,assigned by the milatary to take out a small village in a jungle in the middle of nowhere. The film is a bit guilty of trying to cram a bit too much into an hour and a half but it's a film to make do with if nothing better's in.
