Let’s start the new cinematic year with Trancers. I was expecting a lousy rip-off of everything popular in the mid-80s, but I got a genuinely entertaining time travel detective zombie B-movie with a charismatic lead, good humor, lovely effects, and filmmakers who knew where to spend the budget effectively. Also, the name of the protagonist, Jack Deth, was mentioned in every scene. The action is a little tame and could have been bloodier.
As long as you stop after Trancers III. If you watch all the way to VI, you have a problem.
(Disclosure: I have a problem.)
