My question is: Why would a man who should already have police training whose turned into a cybertnetic being with advance weapons and targeting technology need military training before taking on the streets?...I think they may be over thinking the plot and aspects of this film and its main character.
Now with that said and Haley added to the film, i wonder who will play the vilian role of Clarence Bodicker or whomever they may have as the bad guy, havent heard any news about that yet?
