Anderson, one of the best action directors around.īased on a video game, as is so often the case with Anderson, the film is essentially an extended dash-and-fight sequence. If this makes you laugh - I did - by all means cue up the preposterously entertaining latest by Jovovich and her husband, Paul W.S. This “Monster Hunter” is the one in which a feline cook, the Meowscular Chef, prepares a meal Benihana-style for a crew of desert pirates led by Ron Perlman, who then asks a flabbergasted Milla Jovovich: “What’s the matter? You don’t have cats in your world?” If you thought drone attacks were bad, wait until you see what autonomous robots that were built to kill are capable of.ĭo not confuse this movie with the schlocky (in a bad way) “Monster Hunters.” The film’s ruthlessness in killing off almost every character, including women and children, may feel exploitative, but there is honesty in showing the full range of casualties caused by American weaponry. They don’t have a problem with black ops involving secret weapons until things go haywire, and “Monsters of Man” is quite good at describing the techies’ hubris and utter lack of morals, as well as their terminal naïveté: What did they think they were building, exactly? Not that the trio’s handlers are any better. Three computer nerds run what they think is a navigation test involving four mechanical soldiers being airdropped into a jungle in the Golden Triangle. Mark Toia’s film is set during the pivotal moment when the creature escapes its maker - in this case, when military robots acquire the ability to think for themselves, go rogue and decide to kill everything in sight.
