Storyline
Los Angeles, 2027. Japan and America have merged, politically and economically. Man and machines have merged as well. But mankind is threatened when the Cyborgs decide they are better suited to rule the planet than humans. When police officer Alex Rain discovers the plot to replace world leaders with Cyborg clones, he embarks on a full-scale war to stop them.



Olivier Gruner, now has this guy ever made a movie that's been in a theatre? Probably not. The biggest star in this film is Tim Thomerson and that's not saying much, because his biggest film role was in Air America with Mel Gibson and Robert Downey, Jr. This movie has tons of shooting and lots of exlposions, but nothing really new or exciting. The bad guys are cyborgs, so that means you have to shoot ten times or more before they die. The coolest scene is when Olivier Gruner shoots his way down through about five floors to escape from some bad guys.

The biggest thing working against Nemesis is the cheezy "special effects". The stand out scene is at the end when Gruner fights a cyborg stripped off its "human" outsides. The fight is hilarious, and is supposed to be made by the same guy that did Terminator. What did the guy do on Terminator, fetch donuts? The funniest scene by far is when a wrinkled old lady takes out a gun, shoots a cyborg in the back many times and mumbles a few shocking cuss words that you would never expect to come out of her mouth (Ex. "Fucking cyborgs...").
