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.

Reviews for Solo
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?
For what it is, a straightforward sci-fi action movie with an equally straightforward hero, Solo works.
Not one fight is memorable, and the set looks recycled from an Indiana Jones theme park.
