My Review-

I'am actually watching this movie to get ready for the new one coming out in August. Once again with this movie I had only seen bits and parts of this movie, and I am glad that I watched it this one of my new favorite Arnold movies Terminator 2 being the best one. For this being made in the EARLY 90s it was sort of ahead of its time when it came out and was backed by some good actors, one of the next best ones was Michael Ironside who usually brings the movies that he is in a little better than they normally would be. The effects were good and seemed realistic for this time. One of my favorite characters was Benny, then found out he was a traitor and I pissed off then Kuato came in and that all changed, kind of wish he had a bigger part since he was talked about most of the movie. Stone was pretty good as the side villain, and was kind of cheered when she got her ass kicked. I do not think at that time the movie was made no one could have played the character better then Arnold, because his accent made him hard to understand at times which made it even funnier. I am actually looking forward to the remake coming out in like 2 months, I think Colin Ferrell can do the movie justice and plus Kate Beckinsale is in it, how much better can the movie get! If you have never seen this movie then watch it, if you have watch it again.
