A women who is raped commits suicide and is coverted into a machine then seeks a painful just revenge!!It's a must see that should be on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!

Steel and Lace is, you guessed it, a rape/revenge film but this is no average low budget exploitation film, nope, this here has a CYBORG in it! Forget all those other Terminator rip-off flicks, most claim to have cyborgs but you rarely get a glimpse at their "true" nature, mainly because most of those flicks just don't have the budget to pull it off. Not this gem though, not only do we get some cyborg action but we get to see inside its head! Awesome! As if a cool `borg weren't enough we also get a few red herrings, some admirable nudity and a surprising amount of gore including death-by-drill, decapitation, a penis blender sequence and more!

We're not talking a big budget actionfest here but I'll be darned if this wasn't entertaining! Also on hand to lend this production a little class were actors David (An American Werewolf in London) Naughton, Bruce ("Harry and the Hendersons") Davison, Michael ("Fringe") Cerveris, Stacy ("The Adventures of Superboy") Haiduk and David L. ("Laverne & Shirley") Lander. High caliber? No but they all did a great job despite Lander's way over-the-top scene chewing.

I don't want to give away too much but the finale was incredibly well executed and completely unexpected, I wanted to stand up and applaud. There aren't many director's that would have done what director Farino did, bravo. It's not a particularly original or complex movie that's for sure but it has breasts, blood and a bad ass `bot, making this worth checking out.
