It's somewhen in the future, and humankind has been overrun by mutants.
New Winnepeg is the last safe haven for humans, but mutantkind is trying
to intrude even that city. There's a cop though, Jimmy (Tyhr Trubiak), who
has killed off more mutants than the rest of the force combined, and he
might just as well be our last hope. The job though has made Jimmy a
hardened up man who can't properly express feelings anymore other than
through violence - much to the despair of the secretary (Veronica
Ternopolski) of his precinct, who's secretly in love with him. Eventually,
the Mayor (Stephen Washen) sends Jimmy out into the wastelands where a
nest of mutants has been detected. With a few rookie cops he travels there
and snuffs out the mutants, even if it costs all his rookies' lives - to
return to town to find out that the Mayor has in the meantime sold out to
the Friar (Tyler Glennon), leader of the mutants, and let the mutants
overrun the city - and Jimmy's the only guy who can set things right - but
at what cost? Now Cybernetic Showdown is not a film that
goes for subtlety, it's basically an old school macho movie where the
hero's tougher as the rest, and demonstrates that at pretty much every
corner, preferably through acts of violence. And Cybernetic Showdown
is also very unapologetic about it, but what's the film's saving grace is
that it doesn't take itself too seriously, Jimmy's tough guy routine is
played to such an extent that it makes one chuckle, the situations he
stumbles into are all formulaic to the hilt, but knowingly so and with a
wink to the audience, and the violence is uniformly so over-the-top that
it invites laughs. And the whole thing is just good genre fun to watch,
really!
