Critic Reviews
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Mr. Van Damme's Gibson is so opaque that he makes Mel Gibson's Mad Max seem weepy by comparison.
-
Richard Harrington, Washington Post
It's just another martial arts film, all dressed up with no place to go.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Few genres amuse me more than post-apocalyptic fantasies about supermen fighting for survival. Cyborg is one of the funniest examples of this category, which crosses Escape from New York with The Road Warrior but cheats on the budget.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Martial arts fans will find plenty of action to hold their interest here, but those in search of plot and character are advised to look elsewhere.
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
One of Van Damme's earlier, finer moments
