Remember the Jean Claude Van Damme movie Cyborg? Well it turned into a franchise that was merged with a series of films called Nemesis.
This technically is the second movie in the series and I can confidently say that I don't understand how the movies are connected at all.
Nemesis unlike Cyborg is not set in a post apocalyptic world, it's just set in a future filled with cyborgs and non-sensical plot lines.
To its credit it does have quite the cast, we have industry veteran Tim Thomerson, Thom "Friday 13th" Mathews, Cary-Hiroyuki "Mortal Kombat" Tagawa, the late great Brion James and a small role for current star Thomas Jane.
Notice I didn't mention lead star Olivier Gruner? That's because he is truly awful.
Surrounded by people considerably more talented than him didn't do him or his character any favours. To make matters worse the plot is a mess and the action though thick and fast is seven shades of crap.
This is a decent length franchise and I do hope they get better than this.
The Good:
Decent cast
The Bad:
Awful accents
Weirdly constructed
Olivier Gruner is just lifeless
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Second film, I can already tell I'm not going to enjoy this franchise
Giving a Japanese character a (What I can only assume is...) Hawaiian accent is baffling
