Dolph Lundgren goes on a rescue mission in a SE Asian city overrun with a rage virus. And killer robots.
The idea of throwing in killer robots is certainly novel. The idea could even work if there were competent filmmakers involved. Or, failing that, a decent budget. No matter how many direct-to-video zombie movies you watch, it's unlikely you'll see more than a few killer robots show up.
What we get, though, are some pretty watchable scenes interspersed with terrible stunt work and lots of shaky cam. This is definitely the wrong movie to watch if you hate shaky cam. Dolph plays his standard character in this movie, but it's a cool character.
Surprisingly, some of the other actors had decent enough scenes, too -- enough that I started to think that this might turn into one of Dolph's hidden gems. Then the shaky cam and terrible stunt work came back, and I lost hope again. It's really frustrating and kills every action scene.
If you've already seen all of Dolph's other direct-to-video movies twice now, I guess you could be forgiven for wanting to see this one. However, you're better off just going back and rewatching one of the better movies. I suggest Don't Kill It, which was both funny and gory.
For Dolph completionists and super-fans only. It's watchable, and it's certainly better than some of the stuff I've seen on streaming services, but if you don't have a tattoo of Dolph somewhere, you can feel free to skip over this movie.
