Monsters of Man
It’s “I️ , Robot” meets “Robocop” meets “Terminator”when a government contractor & a CIA official send 4 new prototype AI robots on a secret unauthorized test mission pitting their machines against a gang of illegal drug runners in Southeast Asia. Caught in the middle are the innocent local villagers & 6 lost in the jungle med students as well as 3 support techies duped into their true mission. Of course, there is always that fly in the ointment, the ex-Navy SEAL hiding from his past & doing volunteer work for the locals. Things start to go wrong so witnesses must be eliminated. Except for the usual collateral damage deaths, these smart bots seem to have the targeting accuracy of Stormtroopers & a seemingly endless amount of bullets. This cat & mouse game is a fun & entertaining thrill watch. It comes down to mano a mano & rock ‘em sock ‘em robots. Stay to the end to see if the fat lady sings.
Alien gives it 3 “what is life” stars out of 4.
