      Critics Consensus

      Featuring hammy performances and bland characters, Solo is an all too straightforward actioner that's both predictable and instantly forgettable. Read critic reviews

      Android military weapon Solo (Mario Van Peebles) is designed to put down Latin American rebels. But when Solo arrives, the machine feels compassion for the rebels fighting for freedom. Despite Solo's design, he begins fighting for the people he's supposed to kill. When his creators, including Gen. Haynes (Barry Corbin), attempt to bring him back, he flees. But the military doesn't give up. They send an upgraded android into the field to take Solo -- and the villagers -- down.

      • Apr 14, 2010
        The American military-industrial complex has a blueprint for the perfect mechanical soldier. Unfortunately, the prototype, Solo (Mario Van Peebles), has responded appropriately to his programming (which requires him to reason things out on his own), with results that the designers didn't anticipate and don't like. For one thing, he objects to killing innocent bystanders. Already one of their covert operations has been ruined by his scruples. The manufacturers have given orders that he is to be taken back to the lab and reprogrammed. Now on the run from his makers, he comes to a village of oppressed peasants and teaches them how to fight back successfully in a sequence which harkens to the classic The Seven Samurai.

        Mario Van Peebles is the man! But this is the very definition of so bad it is good.

        <b> Solo is one of the Movies, that is really Bad. I should have said this Movie should have never made, but it is not bad for a TV Movie and I enjoyed it, so I rather dont say that. There is no Story. And believe me, really no Plot you can hang on. It is one of the Movies you dont know why you enjoy, even though it is really 90% worst TV Movie. Still you cannt help to miss it when you catch on TV. You know what I mean?
