Reviews:

It’s a good movie to analyze, but not always great to watch
First off, let’s get my bias out the way, I’m a die-hard fan of this movie, and this review is definitely intended to get the reader to give it a chance.

The film is riddled with industrial (music) culture references and cameos, and if you’re into that scene, there’s a certain sick thrill about seeing Carl McCoy as the zone trooper, and seeing footage of proto-industrial performance artist Monte Cazazza in this. The general tone and ambiance of the whole piece of wonderfully clichéd cyberpunk.

And that’s really the interesting thing about this film. While there are a plethora of terrible sci-fi slasher flicks out there desperately claiming the ‘cyberpunk’ moniker, here is a film that claims to be nothing more than a sci-fi slasher flick, and manages to be somewhat of a pulp-cyberpunk classic instead.

The whole movie is a mood piece, designed more for its ambiance and the feel of its world, than particularly flashy action sequences or on-screen ‘wow’ factor. It’s meant to be a genre movie, but it manages to feel like a ‘serious’ film under the influence of some heavy drugs. Not a bad thing really, but your tastes may disagree. Personally I’ve always liked that sunset-filtered-through pollution look that Bladerunner was infamous for, and hardware utilizes the same rather well.

Genre movie it may be, but it shows far less cheese coating and terrible acting than any of the current glut of genre movies being produced for the Sci-Fi channel. In fact the whole movie feels more like a good pulpy cyberpunk novella than a genre movie by far. Calling the movie ‘mood music for rivetheads’ isn’t really an insult to it.

Future kill…
Dylan McDermott stars as a scavenger who gives his girlfriend a robot head, his girlfriend an artist who smokes Mary Jane (Stacey Travis) and paints an American flag on such, doesn’t realize that said robot has been built to destroy humans and so said robot reassembles itself and McDermott and Travis must stop it. Hardware is a movie that is often in its own way, quite brilliant. The movie has a fascination with the atmosphere and right away we want to learn more on how the future got to be like this. Also the reason for why the robot is made is never explained. The movie does works in the vein of Blade Runner, in that the less known about the film, the stronger it is. It’s a movie that invites you to ponder the details, and with many experimental camera angles, suspenseful stalking sequences, well sketched characters and energetically staged action, Hardware works as one of the better in the genre of robots run amok. Indeed it’s more in the science fiction approach with mood,atmosphere and style, and in my opinion is how they should’ve done Lawnmower Man and Johnny Mnemonic. Indeed director Richard Stanley would’ve made those movies great. Iggy Pop provides excellent comic relief with the opening and closing sequences.
