Death Machine (1994)
7/10
Fun straight to video fair from the good old days.

I first saw DEATH MACHINE, back when it came out on VHS, I never thought to much about it other than it was okay, not to long ago I found it on DVD and figured why not buy it and add it to my old film collection, so I did and of course I watched it expecting it to be dated which it was, but I actually had more fun watching it now than when I first saw it VHS, because in way it was refreshing to see a film that wasn't overblown with today's CGI effects, and the cast were really into their characters you just couldn't help but actually go along for the ride.

The film also featured a lot of likable characters, such as Hayden Cale the strong female executive, Sam Raimi the leader of the small band of humanitarians on a mission, Yutani, crazier than a loony toon and obsessed with street fighter, and the other good quality about this film is that the characters all have distinctive personalities, unlike a lot of other films where characters tend to feel one dimensional especially with films in the same genre.

Overall, it was a fun trip down memory lane and is a film that I enjoy more now than I did before.
