Cyborg

“He's the first hero of the 21st Century... and he's our only hope.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Jean-Claude Van Damme crosses a diseased wasteland pursued by a villain who appears to communicate principally through roaring. The story barely holds the fights together, but the industrial scenery, synthesizers and intensely posed action give Albert Pyun's future a forceful identity.
