Hand on heart, then I must admit that I had little expectations, if any at all, to "Cyborg Soldier". I mean, everything here just screams low budget and questionable movie, from storyline to the list of cast talents appearing on the cast list.

The story in "Cyborg Soldier" is about a genetically enhanced person, a cyborg of sorts, who escapes the confines of the research facility where he was created and kept captive. In the outside world he has a run in with a local sheriff and teams up with her to avoid capture by the very same people who created him.

Right, nothing new or overly thrilling about the storyline or plot here. And there most certainly is nothing new to be had here, that haven't already been seen in other similar Sci-Fi inspired movies.

And as for the acting, well let's just say that it has Tiffani Thiessen in a leading role, and that needs no further explanation, you know what I am getting to here. And alongside her was actor Rich Franklin, whom I can't claim to be familiar with at all. Aside from Tiffani Thiessen, then the only familiar faces I saw were Bruce Greenwood and Jim Annan.

It didn't take long before I found my attention directed to the mobile phone and not on the actual events on the screen, because the movie just didn't come off as being interesting or captivating in any sense. And scarily enough, then you don't really have to be paying attention to the screen in order to keep up with the events of the story and how the movie turned out. Yeah, it was that generic and predictable.

The effects, although there isn't an abundance of them in the movie, were actually adequate enough, and they served their purpose well enough. However, it just wasn't particularly impressive or memorable, and definitely wasn't spectacular to really catch your attention.

This wasn't a memorable movie in any sense, and that I have seen it, I can check it off the list and I know that I will not be watching it a second time around.

I am not sure... Is this movie some bad joke or what... Cyborg Soldier who in fact isn't cyborg soldier, only man that pretend that is a cyborg soldier and tries to do some face impressions like Arnold in Terminator? Or this is just some lame "Terminator like" movie? From the beginning you can sense that there will be no mystery, just some pump ride action and shooting. This B grade movie has nothing new to offer, low scenario, my stomach turns upside down when I see its used in this movie, as well as in million others to. Acting... my goodness... is that a good word for describing the actors? They sucked at all levels...

Why is this movie made? If you ask me, I would say "I don't know." Its like million others B ratted movies, nothing innovative, after hour and a half watching you would regret for spending that time useless... But if you wish action without thinking, when you know the ending after 20 minutes, with not so good acting and every move predictable, then this is movie for you!

Just by the title I was expecting something dismal. Then researching and finding out it's a Canadian movie (I am Canadian), I began to quiver with fear having seen so many "$400 budget" Canadian movies and so many unbelievable or simply overacting talent in Canadian movies.

I rather enjoyed this movie. For lesser known actors, the calibre of acting wasn't bad at all. The storyline was somewhat interesting and there were some mildly humorous parts (diner scene).

Don't rush out to get this thinking it is the must see movie of the decade, but do watch it. Don't expect greatness and you will probably be pleasantly surprised, as I was.

I am not a huge fan of neither cheap nor expensive action movies, I am however a big fan of UFC.

With the previous movies starring MMA stars like Randy Couture I was severely disappointed by the overall level of professionalism and performance with Scorpion King 2 being probably the worst movie I have seen this year. So you can probably imagine by now that when I've heard about "Cyborg Soldier" I wasn't particularly excited.

I'm not going to review the plot as you can get the idea from the synopsis, it is quite simple BUT the way the movie is done, even though it is low budget actually makes up for it. There's plenty of action, well made fight scenes, even some funny parts (depending on your sense of humour though) and Rich Franklin absolutely rocks. His acting resembles A. Schwarzeneggers in the Terminator, though it's not that extremely "mechanic" and emotionless, after all Isaac is still a human being.

Movie is a must see for any UFC fan and everyone who likes good action movies. It's not Bourne(far from it) but trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Because the actors Tiffani Thiessen and Rich Franklin are so good this movie is quite enjoyable. The bad guys are bad enough so you don't like them and I was rooting for the good guys. Bruce Greenwood is always a perfect bad guy or a perfect good guy ! I may watch this once a year but I do watch it again and again.

The movies are a medium by which audiences can view their earliest fears or create new ones which live in our nightmares for the rest of our lives. This film is called " Cyborg Soldier " and is yet another effort to remind us the military is still searching for the ultimate soldier. The formula for said soldier is a repetitive theory of both the military and Mad Sientists who believe Mary Shelly was right. During the Middle Ages, a mad scientist created a creature called the 'Golem.' Benign in it's intent, it was created for good but soon ran amok and destroyed both village and creator. Dr. Simon Hart (Bruce Greenwood) is played by an exceptional actor who plays good guys and bad with equal ease. In this story he is a modern Dr. Frankenstien who with the help of Dr. Tyler Voller (Aaron Abrams) learns that his Cyborg Soldier (Rich Franklin) escapes his confinement. Fearful of what he might do, Hart assembles a crack military team to hunt down Isaac, return him to the lab or destroy him. Before the military team arrives Isaac befriends a police woman who tries to help the soldier recover his memory. The movie itself is interesting if you want to know what the Terminator's beginning were. With lots of dramatic action, physical violence and mysterious mayhem, this film garners enough attention to follow the cyborg back into it's laboratory. Bruce Greenwood makes this film plausible and interesting. ****

Oddly, i enjoyed it. Yes, Tissen isn't Hamilton in any way. Yet, this ex-mma fighter (and ex-math teacher. Well, wow!) somehow proned me to compare his personage with great&awfull T. (Yeah, yeah, cyborg vs terminator. 2 big differences. Not the point.) Yes, there is bit too many citations. Yet, it was fun trying to guess which move from which movie. Even Greenwood's perfomance was acceptable. So, yes, this isn't classic of all times. Yet, this is "company of good friends", "put aside your problems for a time" movie.

(2007) Cyborg Soldier SCIENCE- FICTION/ ACTION DRAMA

Straight-to-rental cyborg flick co-written and directed by John Stead which is not bad, with some decent acting from once known television actress Tiffani Thiessen of Beverly Hills 90210 since this film showed some things I've never saw before on a cyborg film. Situation is, cyborg escapes from gov't facility whose supposed to be the perfect killing machine. He gets chased by men wearing black clothing, orders to kill, execute and facilitate. They're in turn, turn out to be the real bad guys making the cyborg itself to be sympathetic. As the film progresses then with the help of the cop held hostage played by Thiessen, after the rapport she pursues to finding out his origin. With the few action scenes it did have is nothing in comparison to the unique approach of this "cyborg genre" is more fascinating than anything else the film has to offer! All I can say is that with a bigger budget, this film might've been better despite some of it's plot holes- they're are easily overlooked. Influenced by the likes of "Terminator" and the "RoboCop" films, this one does offer a different spin to it which is why it deserves a pass!
