Reviews for Solo
Van Peebles' interpretation of an android puts one more in mind of some monstrously malformed Pinocchio than the gentle giant for which the producers were so obviously aiming.
There probably will be worse action films this year, but there probably won't be any funnier ones.
It simply plods along to it's inevitable, uninvolving and pretty uninteresting end.
For what it is, a straightforward sci-fi action movie with an equally straightforward hero, Solo works.
