Loosely based on a Stephen King short story (which he asked his name be taken
off the
movie because it was so vastly different) starring pre-Bond fame Pierce Brosnan as
Dr. Lawrence Angelo, a scientist working for Virtual Space Industries in "Project 5",
a secret research that attempts to increase the intelligence of primates using
psychotropic drugs and VR training. With his reluctance to aim the research to a
military purpose, after one of the chimps escapes and shoots a guard in the process
he is given a forced vacation, and while taking notes on the need for experiment with
a human subject, he notices Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey), a simpleton who makes his living
on odd jobs such as mowing the grass (hence, the title role). The first experiments
quickly increase Jobe's intelligence, and while after an accident Angelo stopped the
experiments, The Shop, a secret agency overseeing Project 5, reinserted the drugs
responsible for violent behaviour into the program and sped up the treatment. As Jobe
starts to develop telekinetic powers, he starts to take revenge on those who abused
him before he started the treatments, and plots to take over all computers in the
world. This is an interactive movie where you take the role of Dr. Angelo, and try to
keep CyberJobe from escaping into the world. Battle real world minions like guards,
giant wasps, killer primates, and remote controlled vehicles. When Dr. Angelo enters
the cyber world, he will have to work his way through treacherous tunnels and passages
where the enemies are only limited by the imagination. |
