Ángel Luis Inurria El Pais (Spain) 06/22/2020
Despite its 90 minute run-time and the existence of multiple bursts of gunshots, the interest doesn't increase as the movie advances toward its predictable ending. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

11/09/2019 horrible!!! poorly made. very amateur See more 02/01/2018 Comet had this stinker on today. They've been playing everything in the Cannon catalog and this breaks of them. Pro Jewish, anti Palestine crap propaganda at is worst. Not very believable as are all Cannon pictures. The only thing worth noting is Paul Walker is in it and he's just a kid. Bad acting, cheap sets (filmed in Israel as are most Cannon films and looks like they used extra props form Chcuk Norris Cannon films throughout, no joke. Very silly and cartoonish in the way in portrays everyone and a piece of garbage waster of time. See more 06/19/2016 From the director of "Grunt! The Wrestling Movie" comes a rip off of "The Terminator" that also wants to be a tale of international intrigue. A female terrorist is captured by the CIA and undergoes an operation where she is transformed into The Retaliator! She's the CIA's new weapon to fight middle eastern terrorists, but as with most robots, she goes haywire and lots of killing ensures. This film did have a chance to be a so-bad-it's-good, but it didn't quite work for me on that level this time. It mostly just seemed poorly made by people who didn't care. I think the best so-bad-it's-good movies are the ones where the filmmakers don't know they're making a bad movie. Oh, and apparently a 14-year old Paul Walker is somewhere in this movie. See more 12/22/2009 Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring! Somehow a movie about a female mercenary turned into a murderous cyborg, managed to be ridiculously dull and boring. Avoid at all costs! See more 04/28/2008 Review will be written when/if re-watched (Probability: Zero). First viewing: 14.01.1997 See more Read all reviews
