.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

"UKM: Ultimate Killing Machine" is a boring, and highly unthrilling movie. The plot: 5 reject teenagers are recruited by the government to test a new drug that makes supersoldiers, run by Major Blevins (Madsen). Unfortunately, one other test subject went insane and now is on the loose...The whole movie was shot in a building to cut down costs. Apparently, Madsen is expensive. The cast, besides him, is awful. No line of dialogue is timed right, and everybody just yells. There's no motivation or personality for any of the characters. The best part of the movie is the beginning. But after that, it all goes downhill quickly. Madsen's there for a paycheck, but how much could it be? "UKM" is a mess that should be avoided. Unless you like cheap Canadian horror movies...?

well hmm don't quite know where to start with this one,, well Michael Madsen you were just terrible in this one,, i mean i was a big fan of your's what have you done,, he play a Lieutenant Colonel or something in this movie,, an Army think tank,, creating soldiers,, because there recruitment is down,, and the soldiers that they have just aren't that good anymore,, so they go ahead and recruit the bottom of the bottom, and boy do i mean they scrape the bottom of the barrel for these losers,, a runaway,, crack addict,, those are just two to name a few,, there are i think like 4 or 5 guys and two girls. they discover that what they are in is not an actual boot camp,, and must survive the ultimate killing machine that the army has created,, an experient that has horribly gone wrong. not bad if you wanna see a bunch of dumb kids get killed,, but that's it here.

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.

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.
