Didn't know much about this before seeing it. Very, very good. Didn't take itself too seriously. Some well done action sequences and a good sense of humour. The first fight in the kitchen where he's a bit horrified at what's happening is great.

Logan Green watched a bit of Robocop for inspiration with the way he moves.

I really enjoyed this. A nice surprise as I knew nothing about it before watching. Never heard of any of the actors in it either.

Watched this last night. Really enjoyed it; good story, good action, and a great look to the whole thing. It's a really good B type movie
