Review of Hardware (1990) by Nathan N — 13 Jan 2010
No doubt it's my semi-obsessive love of post-apocalyptic science fiction and cyberpunk that drives me to occasionally rewatch this film in the vain hope that it will somehow not suck this time around.
Unfortunately, reality has not shifted, and this is still a bad film. A few cool sets and visuals can't save a dreadfully bad script, awful acting, or the film's grating, pompous artiness. The movie ends up being a collection of missed opportunity and schlock.
Yet, somehow, it still holds a weird pull for me that dates back to seeing the preview on TV back in 89 or 90. I just so wanted this movie to be awesome. It is not.
