Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesDolph Lundgren admitted he didn't like the new US title "The Killing Machine" and found it rather stupid, the original title "Icarus" being more mysterious and intriguing.
- PatzerThe Beretta 92FS Inox pistol used by Icarus suddenly changes to a Taurus PT92 and then back to a 92FS Inox during a shootout.
- Zitate
Edward Genn: That's the funny thing about fate... if you don't follow, it will drag you where it wants to go.
- Alternative VersionenThe German DVD and Blu-Ray version is presented in the wrong image aspect ratio of 1.78:1 instead of the original 2.35:1 (cinemascope) ratio, featured on the French DVD / BLu-ray edition.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Okay, but could have been a LOT better
When I picked up and read the DVD box for this Dolph Lundgren movie, my heart sank when I saw it was being distributed by Cinetel Films. For those who don't know, Cinetel Films makes extremely cheap genre movies padded out with stock footage from big-budget Hollywood movies. Actually, the production values for this movie are somewhat higher. It is clearly a low budget movie, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't look as cheap as usual. (And there's no stock footage.) Other things good about the movie are some decent action sequences and Dolph giving another likable, charismatic performance. And it's nice to see a Canadian movie actually set in Canada (for the most part), though the use of Vancouver is so generic the movie could have been set anywhere.
Unfortunately, the movie still has some serious problems. There are a few poor special effects. Some dialogue is hard to make out. The camera-work for the movie is awful - it always seems the camera is jiggling or in someone's unsteady hands. In fairness to Lundgren (who was also the director), he was reportedly given less shooting time than usual, and also was constrained considerably by the producers. So I don't blame him for the movie's faults. Still, the movie is probably only for die-hard Lundgren fans, and they should probably wait until it appears on cable so they won't feel ripped off when watching it.
