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.

    Incredible ripoff of <I>Mad Max 2: Road Warrior</i> and <i>Blade Runner</i> where Jean-Claude Van Damme fights alone against the dangerous and reckless gang in his knife-fighting and martial arts scenes.
