Philip Roth made many direct to video movies in the '90's...Shit, he's still making them! Roth concocted DIGITAL MAN in 1994 with the help of co-scripter Roland Schmidt. It features Matthias Hues as the title character, a Robo-Cop/Terminator type government robot named D-1. Coming back from a mission his plane goes off course and lands in the trailer park wonderland called Badwater. Video vet Ed Lauter sends in a team of cyborgs and humans to take him out. Hues is a polite killing machine and since the population of Badwater are a collective bunch of idiots it's nice to see them get blown away starting with the fat obnoxious sheriff.
Unfortunately the team that is sent in to stop D-1 are a bunch of bickering assholes and it is quite a pleasure to see them get blown away too! (ala something like "Predator")
Ken Olandt and Kristen Dalton lead the team while Adam Baldwin, Clint Howard, Susan Tyrell and Phillip Bruns are on hand to make you remember why you watch direct to video movies!
Thanks for reading!
