A fast and furious blast of sci-fi action that was obviously inspired by The Terminator.

What could have been a great sci-fi horror flick with awesome effects priorities talky buddy-cop thriller and alien comedy clichés

Full of great car chases . . . gleefully violent antisocial behavior, and enough bullet-fests to qualify for an honorable mention from the John Woo appreciation society

Superior B-movie fare cleverly disguised as a Terminator rip-off.

An interesting s-f, crime thriller. Fast-paced, action-packed and most enjoyable.
