Where to Watch Hardware
- Herbert West31 mei 2025Undisputedly, inarguably, definitively Dylan McDermott’s finest performance. Also it’s a low-budget, cyberpunk fever-dream that probably got played a lot on background TVs in late 80s goth clubs cranking industrial dance music. While visually interesting in an early Trent Reznor home video sort of way, there’s some ingenuity on display regarding set design and lighting. Everything else is plot driven theatrics stunted by disjointed pacing and often intelligible dialogue. Loads of quality gore, but its impact is offset by the silly plot devices and character simplification that leads to wasted FX in telegraphed scenes with no surprises, suspense, or investment in the outcome. Dylan McDermott has never been better, so it’s definitely a must watch for anyone that appreciates Tony “The Golden Boy” McD’s filmography. Or anyone that loves an aesthetic of destroyed analog electronics heaped in piles, covered in nests of wires and tubing, with analog tape hanging from the ceiling like garland. Pretty much everyone.
