Super soldier. This film is one of very little known. Many have not seen this film, but do not even know about its existence. However, the film itself turned out to be quite amazing and quality.
This is one of the best movies about cyborgs and robots. Moreover, the film was shot back in 1991, when graphics were not used, but only costumes and special effects.
Plot
The film was originally set in 1945. In Japan, in an underground laboratory, the military decides to destroy everything related to a secret super-soldier project. One doctor conducted an experiment with three soldiers, two of whom he did not have time to finalize, but he perfected the third by turning him into a robot. The doctor managed to release two unfinished experimental subjects. But then there was a shootout and the bunker collapsed, the doctor himself was killed by the military and the robot whose doctor brought to mind did not go far.
Then they show our days. In one of the nightclubs, which was built on the very spot where the bunker was, there was a malfunction with the wiring. As a result, the robot, which spent a long time in hibernation, woke up and broke free. In an underground parking lot, he kills everyone in his path. A club employee calls an electrician to check the wiring. He descends into the bunker and collides with the robot. And at the same time, feeling the awakening of an old friend, the two soldiers armed to destroy him are sent to the bunker.
Character
The main character in this film is a robot. Armed with a katana sword, a machine gun, possessing superhuman physical strength. It has a heavy armored frame, invulnerable to small-caliber and light weapons. It was created by cleaning the memory and completely changing the appearance. The robot does not look like a Terminator or Robocop. He looks more like a man dressed as a deep-sea diver three-bolt. The truth is all metal. It moves at about the same speed as RoboCop.
Actors
I personally have no complaints about acting. Everyone was good in their own way. I liked both the electrician and the actors who played the role of unfinished soldiers, and of course I liked the actor in the role of a robot. The audience I think to evaluate each of the actors only positively.
Directorial work
The film was directed by two directors. Personally, I don’t know any other work by any of these directors. But this film turned out to be very spectacular and spectacular. A film with a tense atmosphere. Every minute you watch a movie, you think something terrible is going to happen. The robot is present more and less regularly. And its appearance is silent and unexpected, and as soon as it appears, someone dies. The film also features special effects that make the film more realistic. I really liked the ending. But most of all, the robot was impressed. His costume is amazingly made.
Conclusion
The film itself, I can safely call a masterpiece. Among all the movies about robots and cyborgs, this film is one of the best I have seen.
There's a really important point. Finding a film with a translation is now an almost impossible task. I myself watched a movie on YouTube where you can include subtitles and translate into Russian. If anyone wants a link to a movie, I left it on the forum. Perhaps this is the only way to see the film at least with some translation.
That's all I got. If you like movies about robots and cyborgs, then definitely watch this movie. I do not recommend watching the film too impressionable, because there are many scenes with murders!
