Met with universal criticism this 3rd Cyborg movie but 5th in the franchise (It gets confusing) see's a continuation of the 2nds story, kind of.
We see Cash (Recast from Angelina Jolie) in an adventure where she must escape the clutches of "Recycler" Richard Lynch.
Also along for the ride is Zach "Gremlins" Galligan, Rebecca Ferratti, Andrew Bryniarski and industry veteran Malcolm McDowell. Note though, despite McDowell being the cover star he has a very small role in the film so certainly don't watch it for him.
Action packed, inconsistent on the cyborg rules/plot and full of your usual 90's action tropes it's everything you'd expect but not as bad as they say. Sure it's bad, but there is a lot worse out there! This at least was saved by a really fantastic cast, did I mention William Katt? Being a bit of a Katt fanboy I appreciate his addition to any movie.
Passable stuff for fans of brainless 80's/90's b-movie action, not so much for everyone else.
The Good:
Connections to previous movies
Well above par cast
William Katt
The Bad:
Still naff Cyborg nonsense
Recasting
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
I cannot see Bryniarski without seeing Zangief from Streetfighter (1994)
