Hollywood and its producers demonstrate their lack of imagination in this flat, predictable sci-fi drama.
At its heart, DARYL is merely a reworking of Pinnochio: an artificial lifeform who wishes to be a real boy. the story is twisted by throwing in a few power-hungry generals who want to turn the boy into a Terminator. To combat them, the androids creators are given moral consciences, which puts them in the role of Gepetto.
When the story drags, the director throws in a few ludicrous car chases and then tops it off with the theft of an SR-71.
Hollywood is famous for dusting off old stories and reworking them into 'new' creations. How sad that Carlo Collodi's classic story should be so casually mangled.
