A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

normally, plot holes and bad acting in a horror movie are easy to over-look, as long as the movie is cheesy, violent, and entertaining. the director of this film, David Mitchell, is absolutely clueless, not just about about how to make a decent film, but about everything. so these four rejects, two guys and two girlies, are accepted into the army, but are taken to a military research facility. the four kids don't think it's fishy that they're supposed to sleep in the same room together. one by one they're taken out of the room to be experimented on. so here's one of the worst plot holes: why would they take out one of the kids, experiment on him, then drop him off in the same room before they take another kid? there's a million rooms in that base where they could stash the experiment victim. literally no explanation is given for this. but that's not the worst of it. there's several blatantly sexual scenes in this movie, like when they have to all undress together, or when they go crazy and wanna screw... but there's no nudity. all they do is get down to their underwear and that's it. why? does this director think his film is too classy to show bare breasts? who knows. i have a laundry list of complaints about UKM but i try to keep my reviews short and sweet. please, don't ever see this movie.

I can't believe how bad this movie was.It was so lame I ended up fast forwarding over most of it.The acting was bad enough but the story was worse.I should have known it would be a POS knowing Michael Madsen was in it.A lot of the movies he's in suck.The male characters were weak and wimpy, and the female characters did nothing but humiliate men.It was a b-rated comedy trying to be a horror movie.It had a bad score and was probably one of the most boring movies i've seen in awhile. I was surprised to see Bill Parrot in this movie.I haven't seen him since the late 80's in the TV show Degrassi junior high playing the Shane Mckay character.He should have reprised the Shane character on Degrassi TNG instead of doing a movie as horrible as this, but unfortunately for Bill they found another actor to play Shane which is too bad because I prefer Bill in the role.

After being rejected from standard Army boot camp for being complete rejects (4-F), four young Americans join the secret project of Major Blevins (Michael Madsen) where they are to be transformed into the ultimate killing machines. But the laboratory still hasn't disposed of the previous test subject, who did not quite turn out as planned.On the Internet Movie Database, this film comes in at 2.4 out of 10, which is just about the lowest you'll ever find a movie listed. The only things lower are "Gigli" and Bill Cosby's turd sandwich "Leonard 6". Sure, the film is bad, but not nearly that bad (these people should rent "Nine Lives"). Allow me to explain. The acting is not great and the dialogue is horrible (mostly just grunting and swearing over and over again). The plot may not be outstanding, but it's decent and is detailed enough to carry the film. But many good things are in here.The film is comedy through and through. From the opening scenes that depict the candidates as morons (which reminded me of "Can't Hardly Wait") to their stereotypical interactions like "The Breakfast Club" (the criminal, the brain, the basket case... with the princess replaced by a crack addict). And the film relies on some horror clichés in such a way that I have to assume they were meant to be funny: the German scientist, for example.But under the campiness was a decent film that had solid characters. Michael Madsen did not give his best performance, but he is always a joy to watch (even in such things as "Eye of the Beholder" or "Free Willy"). And the subplot about military recruitment being down and needing to make soldiers better was very timely and fit well. I suppose you could contrast this with "Return of the Livign Dead" in that way, with adrenaline-induced soldiers in this movie taking the place of the trioxin zombies.Maybe it wasn't great... but did you really think "UKM: The Ultimate Killing Machine" would be? I was actually heavily entertained. And maybe you didn't get the nudity you wanted (which is surprisingly with how much sexual activity is going on). But you got gore: faces ripped off, heads torn from necks, and a man slashed to pieces with blood flying all over the killer. Some of it -- the needles -- was done with the lowest quality of special effects, but I'd rather watch some film maker trying to save money with special effects than use cheesy computer stuff. (We can't all be the masters of gore that Peter Jackson was and Stuart Gordon is.) When you're at the video store and you're deciding between this and "Navy Seals", I actually liked this one better. But seriously, you know what you're getting yourself into. At least I hope so... don't be one of those people who doesn't know anything and picks up movies at random. If you are, you deserve to see every crappy film you rent. If you like camp, like the original "Batman" movie, you'll like this one.

Plot: Mad scientist does illegal experiments for military on unsuspecting army recruits.This is a barely watchable movie. The viewer has a choice. Watch this mess til the end, or give up. Trust me, give up. The military acts like no military anywhere. The military facility is unlike any anywhere. It is just bad.The story line might, almost make sense. Some major (!) in the military is running a rogue experimental site where they are doing human experiments. All of his support staff are privates. What!?!? They keep around a failed experiment. But, there is a failsafe to destroy the building. Oh, the experiment enhances the adrenalin levels of the test subjects – and it makes them horny. There is some intentional humor, and Michael Madsen deadpans some of the better throwaway lines.Michael Madsen is the best-known actor in this movie. If he could act, then he might have been willing to try to breathe some life into this movie. But, he cannot. He was perfect for Kill Bill, Vol 2. But, that is the only character he, apparently, has the ability to portray.The rest of the cast goes through the motions on this one. In particular, Erin Mackinnon, as Carrie, does a good job of changing from a shy runaway to a vicious predator.Is there some book that helps directors find bad plots. In this movie, the military comes off as incompetent, immoral, illegal, and otherwise stupid.There is a fair amount of violence. The actual violence occurs offscreen, but there is plenty of blood splatterage and special effects dead bodies (including a headless body and its head and a faceless body and its face.) Most of the violence is just there to lend credence to the monster being a threat. But, the monster is not scary. So, the only way to make him a threat is to have him leave a gross mess in the hallway.There is one scene where sex is used to promote the story line. Thankfully, most of the graphic part is edited out. The viewer knows sex occurred. But, the only reason to make the four experimental subjects strip to their underwear is to tease the viewer.
