A mish-mash of 'Westworld' and the gangster genre this doesn't have a convincing moment in it. Xavier Declie may be a competent martial artist but he can't act and lots of his combat is filmed with frenetic editing or in partial darkness so a) you can't see what's going on and b) you can't tell how competent he is. The other actors are not much better and Bridget Flanery as Lita was particularly annoying.
The plot is very predictable. It starts out trying to be dramatic then introduces farcical elements that really spoil the tone. It should have been more hard-edge. The potential was there; androids as mobsters could have been awesome but this was not a bang but a whimper. And having characters named after great Hollywood stars like Greenstreet, Widmark, Astor, Lorre, Hayworth and Rains etc. just seems insulting in such a poor film.
