"a police officer who can't be stopped by death returns to the streets time and time again to fight crime" Sounds like a bad 80's exploitation movie and this movie owes a lot to those movies, but like Robocop it manages to go beyond these roots.
It is Kim Coates portayal of officer Terry Downe that elevate this movie from cheesy scifi gore fest to cult classic. He makes him both an unstoppable bad ass and a sympathetic human character that you can relate to and root for. His scenes in the 'Bull Pen' are just perfect giving an emotional connection that pushes this movie beyond the ordinary.
Is this movie perfect no, some of the CGI effects are weak, the supporting characters are poorly fleshed out. I would of liked to see more backstory for the other main character Officer Gable played well by Tyler Ross. There are times the lower budget obviously put constrains on the movie, but having said that you can see that they got the most of from their budget.
If you like this sort of movies you will love this movie and if you don't you will miss the great heart of this movie behind the slightly dodgy special effects and over the top characters.
