Reviews for Solo
The best one can say for Norberto Barba is that he directs a slick piece of goods. But no amount of fast cutting or tempo can disguise the material's simplistic, thoughtless nature.
It simply plods along to it's inevitable, uninvolving and pretty uninteresting end.
Since filmgoers are told early on that there is only one other super-cyborg prototype in the world, well, guess what the big climax is?
