Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
adonis98-743-186503 A renegade general (Robert Miano) plots to bomb Washington using a new top secret jet called the Storm Catcher. The only trouble is only one man (Dolph Lundgren) is capable of flying it. Storm Catcher has it's fair share of good moments for sure as an action movie but it's once again far from other good Lundgren movies. The action was heavy of course but not enough, the rest of the cast didn't do anything insane to say the least and the overall storyline? Wasn't that good or well written for me to get captivated by it in the end. (5.0/10)
Maziun 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.
Enchorde ** HERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS **Jack Holloway (Lundgren) leads a flight team testing and developing a new type of stealth aircraft, intended to be used in possible covert operations and warfare. However, the aircraft get stolen and Holloway is set up to take the blame. And then the real terrorists try to kill him, and when he escapes tries to kill him and his family. As he cannot turn to police or the military he decides to track down the terrorists himself, with help from good friend Sparks (Clark), and the track leads inside the military.As expected, this is no great movie, but it is not bad either. It is good action without trying to complicate matters. By keeping it simple it manages, with few exceptions, to avoid really bad scenes. The cast does a good job, and the story is interesting and fast paced enough to keep at least my interest up. Unfortunately it lacks some parts and pieces to climb up the credit ladder. So, average but entertaining.5/10
mwluse I was going to offer serious comments on just how terrible this movie is, and how many ludicrous technical errors it contains. But I can't. It's just stupid, stupid, stupid. A more enjoyable time can be had by turning on the water in the kitchen sink and watching it trickle down the drain. Or see how many light bulbs you can hold in your mouth. Or pick your nose and look at it with a magnifying glass. Anything beats this movie. Anything.
