Max Knight: Ultra Spy

what can i say, i enjoyed this film when i saw it at 2 am. it is the perfect type of film to watch when you can't sleep. it's silly, fun, and you don't need to think. i understand, and agree, that the writing was horrid, and had no idea what is was talking about, but that added to the cheese factor. it also felt like an extended TV series episode. but sometimes this type of movie is just what you need to put a smile on your face. the acting was cute, what more can i say. Michael Landes and Rachel Blakely played their roles with just the perfect amount of cheese that lets the audience root for them. what more can i say? it could have been better (writers, know what you are talking about next time), but i definitely could have been worse!! just don't expect it to be much more then fun and silly.

What a hopelessly cheeseball piece of trash! It was mildly amusing, but utterly ridiculous. Goes in the same category as "Double Dragon" - cute actors, silly story, totally goofball. A good way to waste a Sunday afternoon, though.

The Max Knight character is a blend of James Bond, Derek Flint and Gadget Boy. The movie itself has plot elements similar to Knight Rider 2000. Throw in some Gibson-like speak and this combo makes for a slightly annoying (the villains) yet basically fun movie (and obviously a failed TV pilot). The affable Mr. Landes went on to play a vaguely reminiscent swaggering character in the series Special Unit 2.

This is mediocre sci-fi at its best, and I've seen a lot of mediocre and BAD sci-fi (I have Cinemax). It won't enrich your life, but it won't detract from it either. You may even think of the movie time-to-time and lament how it could have been great but just wasn't quite right.

All-in-all, worth watching if you've got extra time. I'm glad that in the US, Sci-Fi Channel occasionally takes these unpolished gems out of the closet for all to see.

Bonus shirtless scene for Michael Landes fans.

I agree that this was most likely a failed TV pilot turned into a TV movie... and it's thoroughly average. You'll expect all the cliché cyberpunk moments and spy moments. But, hey, at least Blakely looks good here.

Oh, and it also features perhaps the first use of "machinima" in the film... about five minutes of the movie is in "Half Life". Maybe it's a big product placement, I don't know, but if nothing else, this movie has some historical value because of that.

If this is on TV (which is the only way you can see it because it's not on DVD) and you have two hours to waste, you might want to watch this just for that moment. Otherwise, it's fairly forgettable. Chalk it up to the Matrix craze that happened back in 99.

Ok. This movie is funny. It screams cheap B rating movie. Like said by others. The author knows jack about basics computer and even less about the hacker community. As im typing its being shown on TV here.. Alone the little thing about a girl taking on a VR helmet and suddenly max knight has a detailed 3d image of her entire body.. The movie is a laugh. Especially if you know a bit about computers you´re gonna have a ball.. The "borrowed" HalfLife scenes are a blast.. Its a cult classic, even starwars was corny in some points but still a classic..There is not ONE realistic thing about Max Knight Ultra spy.. but funny.. defenetly.
