I was bored at first, but stayed with it and the movie turned out to be better than I expected. However, no matter how hard it tried to be a great movie, it only succeeded in being ok. I gave it 7/10 b/c it has a real effort to it. So stay with it and you'll probably enjoy it.
The production was reasonable. The effects were fair to very good. The direction and editting were very good. The writing was weak at first, but improved in the middle to the end. The acting, especially toward the end, was believable. The sound track was well done.
So overall I think this movie is lacking something - it's look is "cheap." E.g. it's name "DeathMachine" is a poor attempt at being scary. (Maybe "War Beast" would have been better?) And so I think it's the cheapness of the cinematography - it didn't look professionally made - that weakened this otherwise good movie.
Kudos to the writer/director: Stephen Norrington
