Stephen Holden New York Times 05/20/2003
Mr. Van Damme's Gibson is so opaque that he makes Mel Gibson's Mad Max seem weepy by comparison. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/01/2000
1/4
Few genres amuse me more than post-apocalyptic fantasies about supermen fighting for survival. Cyborg is one of the funniest examples of this category, which crosses Escape from New York with The Road Warrior but cheats on the budget. Go to Full Review
Richard Harrington Washington Post 01/01/2000
It's just another martial arts film, all dressed up with no place to go. Go to Full Review

2/4
It never distinguishes itself as anything but another Mad Max wannabe, although its minor success did lead to two straight-to-video sequels (the first with an 18-year-old Angelina Jolie, the second with OJ Simpson's freeloading houseguest Kato Kaelin). Go to Full Review

6.5/10
I loved all the fake gore. Plenty of decapitated heads on a pole and bodies swinging off chains. Kill or be killed. Go to Full Review

Ironically enough, the most believable cyborg is Van Damme ... in his role as a human. Go to Full Review

Brandon S Oct 20 It's the peak of Cannon's made-for-tv schlock See more Shaun R Oct 17 Proper 80s action, loud and at times, non-sensical. Van Damme in his prime. Just enjoy the stupidity and action scenes. See more JW R Jun 14 A hero with some cute women. Good camera work. Some good karate chopping and fight scenes. Plot not really that good but whp cares about plot for Jean Claude movies. All that matters is the ol swinging foot on jaw action. See more thiago s May 17 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme nem o van damme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more John G Jan 17 I get why this is rotten by professional standards, but the popcorn meter should be really high. Despite the plot holes, and the low budget, its incredibly fun to watch. Or maybe because I'm a Gen-Xer? See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Dec 24 Very much in Albert Pyun’s wheelhouse and the last of Van Damme movies with Cannon. It’s very standard sci-fi and very low budget but it’s not unwatchable See more Read all reviews
