The Cybernator....The Terminator....separated at birth? Not exactly. Both films begin in the future, and both involve cyborg killers. But whereas most of The Terminator took place in the present, The Cybernator remains in an unspecified later era. The hero, detective Lonnie Schuyler, is pressed into duty when the robotic assassins, intended for battlefield use, begin running amok in the civilian sectors. Old reliable William Smith is on hand in an appropriately macho supporting role. Very violent, steamingly sexy, The Cybernator earns its R rating and then some. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This bleak, provocative drama, the debut of filmmaker Jeff Stanzler, gives a haunting look at the effects of drug abuse upon those who care for the user. It tells the story of unemployed, depressed and just-divorced Bronx-resident Manny who hears burglars in his kitchen one morning and walks in to find his little brother Danny and Danny's girlfriend Jeanette rifling around for money to support their crack cocaine habits. Using the baseball bat he carries, Manny nearly beats his errant brother to death. He grabs their drugs and bundles them into his car for a long drive to the graveyard where their recently deceased father is buried. Thus begins a long, depressing journey between the disparate brothers as they try to make peace with their pasts and find redemption for their wasted lives amidst the ruins of their old neighborhood. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
