Mad Max meets Escape from New York in director Albert Pyun's cheap and cheerful science-fiction adventure where all the characters are named after electric guitars (Fender, Rickenbacker). Jean-Claude Van Damme is a futuristic mercenary hired to escort a cyborg carrying the antidote to a deadly plague that has almost wiped out mankind in the 21st century. On the journey they fall foul of the Flesh Pirates, torturers, flashbacks and crucifixion as genre master Pyun piles on the trash, panache and gratuitous violence with cut-price style.
Charmless, cliché-packed action movie, carrying the explicit message that violence is good for you.
This is one of Van Damme's best film to date, a good story line, great acting, and full of action Van Damme style,a must for anyone.
A good movie for its time, but when i first watched it i was about 5...now 23 i found it a good laugh rather than an action :)
