Ultra-Toxic

Twitchy 22-year-old junkie Peter Shek escapes from a secret experimental laboratory where the scientists have implanted a micro-chip into his brain.

Said micro-chip not only encourages Peter to get high through extremely unusual means, but also compels him to have sporadic lethal and violent outbursts.

Meanwhile, a few spooky types track Peter's every move and two opposing factions fight over control of his life and mind.

Unfortunately, loud music and low budgets do not a good movie make. This film is largely unwatchable. And BTW, not only is it in B&W, or tinted frames, there is also very little dialog, so you are essentially watching an overdeveloped, dark (literally dark, loud silent movie.

It's worse than a student film.

Interesting movie: it's the first Argentinian movie of the cyber-punk genre.

Shot in black and white, spoken in English and with subtitles in Spanish, with an excellent work of edition (the movie won an award in the Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre Festival) and an original soundtrack that goes with the images, this is a movie that you'll love or hate.

Not for everyone, but a must for those looking for different alternatives in the Argentinian cinema (and latinamerican too) and for sci-fi fans.

The plot is simple, in a near future, where people speak a really bad English, Peter Shek, former drug-addict, is implanted by the government with a chip to stop his addiction. The problem is that the implant's software has other plans for Peter, who starts a long journey of decadence through the dirty streets of future Buenos Aires.

A mixture of Tetsuo, Electric Dragon 80000V and oriental cinema, it's worth seeing just for the originality.
