Director Michael Winnick tries his hand at recreating the ‘super-soldier’ genre with his newest movie, Dark Asset, starring Byron Mann, Helena Mattson, and Robert Patrick, among others. It follows a nameless individual who becomes insanely strong after he’s made a superior being thanks to a chip in his brain and then turns against his creators. The plot isn’t new, and we’ve seen multiple versions with the same script, so does Winnick bring anything exciting to this movie? Here’s a detailed recap of Dark Asset, along with an honest review at the end.

I do love a director with a steady hand! So many out there would be worried about a slow-burn thriller/espionage film not keeping people’s attention (I mean to be fair everyone seems to have a two-second attention span these days) so they might throw in some unneeded action or other random nuttiness. Micheal Winnick though realises that he has a strong cast that can deliver in every area and one hell of a sharp vibrant and sexy aesthetic.
Dark Asset‘s strongest… umm… asset is that it knows exactly what it is, and what it wants to be and co-writer/director Micheal Winnick has assembled a crew that holds the line to bring us the perfect example of a low...
