Review of The Lawnmower Man (1992) by Deb S — 20 Mar 2011
Jeff Fahey stars as Jobe, a man who is mentally challenged who is given super intelligence when a brilliant scientist (Pierce Brosnan) uses his experiments to increase his brain capacity. Dr. Angelo does the tests on Jobe who becomes much smarter. This is all fine and good until the government steps in and tries to find a way to turn Job into a weapon. Because that's what the government does, you know. Jobe becomes a threat when he uses his new found powers for revenge and then his psychic abilities to manipulate anything to his will. Dr. Angelo battles to bottle up his creation as Jobe strives to escape into the nascent World Wide Web to begin his campaign of world domination.
*Warning Spoiler*.
The title "Lawnmower Man" indicates he kills people with lawn mowers, and he does, but just one man: a drunk who abuses his wife and son, so I'll say he deserved it!
