Review of Storm Catcher

Storm Catcher (1999)
1/10
Better watch „Top gun"
28 December 2014
Or „Blue thunder". Or "Iron Eagle" . Every one of this movies is far more entertaining than this poor B-class movie. Sometimes B-class movies are fun. Unfortunately this isn't one of them.

This is a poor action thriller. The story is very thin and predictable. The characters are bland (there is even stereotypical "funny black guy sidekick") and the villains are lame. The whole conspiracy thing here is lame and has been done million times in the past and much better. I don't really know what's going on here – a sign of bad writing. If you're looking for action you won't find it here. There's a cool flipping truck stunt but nothing else. Director Anthony Hickox tries to make this movie look stylish like a John Woo movie , but fails terribly. In several of the slow-mo gun fighting scenes you can actually see the silencers on the guns bend and wobble. The plane scenes are weak and unsatisfying. "Storm catcher" is very lifeless and badly directed movie.

The acting is painfully bad. Even Lundgren seems bored here and barely puts any effort.

This movie was filmed in 18 days and it shows. It really looks and feels low budget. Avoid it. I give it 1/10.
