I've got your electric sheep right here, pal.For those of us who mindlessly enjoy watching an assortment of renegade cyborgs engage in various forms of futuristic warfare, Albert Pyun's cheap 1993 straight-to-video knock-off Nemesis is all sorts of dodgy, B-grade fun. Rebecca Charles' busy script seems to have been carefully constructed using various pages from other, more successful cinematic achievements, though I'm sure you'll forget all about these nagging similarities once things start blowing up. Pyun -- a man I have a highly toxic love/hate relationship with -- has actually managed to piece together some truly inspired gun-oriented set pieces, an accomplishment I once believed to be the smelly by-product of some poor child's fever dream. And as long as your brain has been properly dismantled and tucked away before scheduling some quality time with your pricy rent-to-own widescreen television set, there shouldn't been too many audible grumbles erupting from the peanut gallery. Impossibly cheesy sci-fi action doesn't get much better than this, dear readers.
