Death Machine is B-movie SF of the early Euro cyberpunk variety. Probably got some of its inspiration from the artists of the French comic anthology series Metal Hurlant. I saw this when it first aired in the states, which was one of the several early SF channel indie flicks of the 90s (if anyone remembers those days...) This movie is a good bang for your buck...but not exactly original, although it does have cool details and great characters. I also have to state for the record that this movie has a pretty funny pot smoking scene, that I honestly did not see coming, and still enjoy every time I see it... But all around, Death Machine is a fun, pulpy, very French SF inspired film, with fun details and pure B-movie volition as it handles its derivative ideas with relative flair and humor. The acting is fairly solid too with nods to Ely Pouget, John Sharian, and Brad Dourif for putting in solid characterization.
