It's alright.
This movie was kind of interesting, it was sort of like the a Karate Terminator with Blade Runner, Total Recall, Future Kick and Cyborg with hot naked ladies showing their boobs. I have to say I liked it for a corny, low budget B action sci fi Karate movie straight to video from the 1990's. Lol

"Terminator" Meets "Hard Boiled"
Albert Pyun's movies usually aren't worth more than half a glance. Though he's directed some of the more creative of celluloid premises, his films tend to be underdone action C-titles featuring poor casting, even worse acting, bare-bones production values, and a consistently bland color scheme that makes the movies boring even to look at. Though he never really outdid his breakout attempt (The Sword and the Sorcerer) and lost just about all of his Tinseltown value after 1993, he just managed to squeeze out one more good hunkajunk before going off of the cinematic deep end when he made "Nemesis": a sci-fi shoot-'em-up combination of The Terminator and John Woo's Hard Boiled, and the launchpad of Olivier Gruner's career as an action hero. The story: in the year 2027 - when America and Japan have merged into a single entity and robotic implants are commonplace - Alex the cyborg cop (Olivier Gruner, Angel Town) is strong-armed into accepting a final mission from his superior (Tim Thomerson, Iron Eagle): stop his ex-partner (Marjorie Monaghan, Space Rangers) from smuggling data to the Red Army Hammerhead terrorist organization. However, even with a security bomb attached to his heart, Alex begins to question his assignment when it becomes clear that the sides of good and evil and man and machine are not as clear as they seemed... At the time, Olivier Gruner was fresh out of his kickboxing career as France's first-ever national champion, so go into this movie expecting a dramatic performance akin to those of Jean-Claude Van Damme. I was a bit disappointed that there weren't a lot of martial arts to be seen, but the film more than makes up for the sheer amount of bullets it blows through the sets. While there isn't quite as much shooting as in the aforementioned John Woo film, "Nemesis" really was the only respectable challenger to that one at the time. I wouldn't be surprised if an entire fifth of the movie focused solely on Gruner and company waging a machinegun war on eachother. There's loads more interesting gunplay than was the timely norm, as well: prepare to see a lot of two-handed gunslinging, mid-air and on-the-slide firing (including a neat instance wherein Gruner bulls-eyes an enemy while performing a backflip), and general ingenuity to spell out a perfect guilty pleasure for action fans. Pyun's more competent in his directing here than usual, as well. Though it looks like most of the sets were there to begin with (i.e. they look cheap), he makes good use of them, presents a surprisingly wide scope of environments, and leaves his usual technical snafus at home. Alas, the movie's special effects are well behind-the-times, even when the film was released: keep in mind that Terminator 2 - Judgment Day had come out two years prior, and the questionable robotics and stop-motion climax will look fairly disappointing. The same can be said for the acting: since this is an action film and Olivier Gruner is an action hero, his performance can be excused, but with the exception of Thomerson, the rest of the cast is in need of help: campy Marjorie Monaghan, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Mortal Kombat), Merle Kennedy (May), and Nicholas Guest (Kickboxer 4: The Aggressor) needed to be hit with the script a few more times before they attempted their scenes. As anything other than an action movie, "Nemesis" deserves a lower rating, but if you know what to expect when going in, you'll be setting yourself up for an enjoyable 95 minutes. If you're new to Pyun's work, either get out while you can or watch this film. Just know that, with very few exceptions, you won't be finding anything better than this in the man's portfolio. ... show more

This Movie is Awful and I Love It
Nemesis is one of those movies that feels like it was made on a bet. Someone, somewhere, must have watched Blade Runner and Terminator before deciding that they could be remade into one movie for $97. Starring French martial artist Olivier Gruner, who sports a Schwarzeneggerian command of English and runs so weird you'd never suspect him of being an athlete, Nemesis is a nigh incomprehensible cyberpunk tale of the LAPD battling a secret underground organization of anarchist cyborgs. With a plot, set pieces, and even character names (One woman is named Max Impact) that would seem at home in a random 80s anime, Nemesis one of the most entertaining schlock action movies I've ever seen. Do you like martial arts scenes where only one actor knows what he's doing? Nemesis is for you. Do you like movies where regular guns have random nonsense stuck on them to make them sci-fi guns AND EVERYTHING THEY SHOOT EXPLODES? Nemesis is for you. Do you like special effects that vary wildly in quality from the absolutely laughable to shots that would arguably hold up today? Nemesis is for you. Do you like extended sequences of dialog where Thomas Jane stands around without pants for literally no reason? Nemesis is for you. Make no mistake - Nemesis is not a good movie by most rubrics, but it is always entertaining. It is so bold in its nonsense - never winking at the camera or hanging a lantern on anything- that you'll find yourself weirdly sucked in by it. This is Mondo Video release so the price is a bit steep (although it comes with multiple different cuts of the film), but if you like the bizarre flavor of 1990s video store movies, this is worth checking out. With a few buddies and a pizza, Nemesis is a great way to kill an evening. ... show more

A flawed masterpiece.
Nemesis returns in blu-ray format for the first time in gran fashion. Movie Review: Nemesis at it's core is a sci-fi action flic where robots are trying to replace humanity. Humans augment themselves with cybernetics for combat. Alex Rain is basically a Blade Runner hunting down robots but after sustaining injuries becomes more and more robot. The acting is bad but in a cool way. The effects are cool yet cheap. Good things about the movie is the action is great and everyone is really good looking. It has a cult following and deservedly so. Blu-Ray quality and stuff review. The blu-ray has the movie in widescreen or full screen format and it looks fantastic. This movie has always looked blurry but that is gone here. There is some grain due to the age of the film but the sound and picture are the best that it has ever been released. The Extras are two other cuts of the film in DVD format. The directors cut has extended scenes of violence, sex, and the order of the scenes is also switched, quality is standard definition. The bad ending Japanese version has alternate scenes and evil ending. Finally, some trailers and interviews are included. Final thoughts: I'm a fan of this film so I'm over the moon about this great release. Friends that have seen it do think the movie is good but low budget. The quality of the film is great and the different cuts will be a treat for fans. Highly recommended. ... show more

Awesome 90’s B Action Flick
Read all the reviews so purchasing this 90’s B action flick was a no brainer. All during this flick, over and over, I was “wow, he’s/she’s in it?” moments. And although some parts were cheesey, the action head scratching, I still throughly enjoyed this movie. A’la Spikt Second, Cyborg, Screamers, and my all time fave, Hardware. Fan. Tastic! ... show more

The picture quality is good. Movie Review
DVD Review: Imperial Entertainment review. GOD! I hope one day this movie will be on Blu-Ray in widescreen format. For now, the full-screen will have to do. BOO! This DVD comes with a "Making of", English, Spanish and French audio,trailer and production notes. The picture quality is good. Movie Review: A cyborg cop must deliver some worthless data to some people to expose a plot to kill off all mankind and replace them with cyborgs. Or something. This is probably Albert Pyun's best film ever and that is kind of a stretch considering most of his films are s***. But this movie rules with excellent action sequences, cyber-punk elements and crappy acting. Yay! In Conclusion: 4 stars for the DVD and 4 1/2 for Nemesis. ... show more
