Hands of Steel Reviews

The Italians have long been known for their cannibalizing of American film genres and rip-offs of big hits. This film is one of the latter, a knock-off of THE TERMINATOR. Greene is the killer cyborg, 70 percent of his body rebuilt as a fantastically strong, electronically controlled robot assassin after he was injured in some Central American war. Saxon is the heavy, head of the giant conglomerate whose scientists created Greene. Sent to kill a blind, wheelchair-bound ecology leader, Greene has a sudden pang of conscience and runs away to the desert near his birthplace. He takes a job with Agren, who runs a sleazy motel with a bar. Saxon hasn't forgotten his rogue cyborg, however. No style, no suspense, no acting, no script, and nothing to relieve the boredom of sitting through this turkey. In fact, the only thing interesting about the film is trying to keep track of all the films from which it borrows.
