Ratings and reviews

It has its funny moments and is a tad above average 3.5 stars really. Plot is unconvincing and they should have just not tried to explain... Just put the characters in the situation and have more action. Of course... Plot was lacking which distracted from the humor of the main characters. Needs more polishing.

I'd recommend this movie for casual viewing on a lazy afternoon / evening. It's nothing spectacular, but being a fan of the genre (sci-fi / cyberpunk), I definitely found it enjoyable. Worth checking out if you're into action and science fiction.

This is not the best sci fi movie out there, but it can't be described as a crap either. I don't give it 5 stars because is not a master piece and 4 stars neither because is not a excellent film. My advice is go ahead and rent it or buy it, you won't regret.
