Watch this with a corned beef and onion toastie

Rating: 7/10 (31 March 2013)

A charming film about a passionate robot with a desire to learn how to live like a human. The terminator as he's called, hilariously played by Arnold Schwarzenegger turns up out of the blue, stark naked but ready for action. After callously beating up a group of friends in a bar, stealing their clothes and motorbike he's off to find his mentor John. John who is abnormal, mentally bullies the terminator whilst also teaching him some childish phrases. The relationship takes an unexpected twist with the arrival of a further robot however this one is intent on harming John. Slowly we learn of John's unusual up bringing and we also meet his mother, who is a thin maniac. After several hilarious attempts at John's life both robots begin to see John in a different light leading to a confrontation at some kind of foundry, the terminator sacrificing himself, wrongly seeing himself as responsible for the deaths of John's foster parents. Full marks to both robots for making this a cracking yarn and taking the attention off John who was frankly annoying.
