Watch Storm Catcher For Free

Touches You

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Another sub-par tale starring the man who used to be king of the violent B-movie, this television-movie-style offering tells the hackneyed tale of a man, framed for a heinous crime, pursued by sinister government agent types and betrayed by those closest to him as part of a government conspiracy. The tale has been done before, many times, and its simple to spot plot elements lifted from DIE HARD, THE X-FILES, even John Carpenter's ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 for one crazy moment. Unfortunately, STORM CATCHER is not as good as any of the films it seeks to emulate, instead landing squarely in the middle of the straight-to-video world: neither bad enough to be funny or good enough to be exciting.The stultifying scenes of plot development are punctuated by the occasionally cheesy highlight (I love the overacted hospital interlude – "I need a doctor! I need a doctor!") but its not enough to make this worthwhile. To pad out the thin story, we get plenty of footage of planes (good enough) and lots of cheap and cheerful special effects. Unfortunately the action choreography is poor, Dolph doesn't even get to do any martial arts, and the shoot-outs lack impact, shying away from the bloodshed despite the high body count. Don't even get me started on the cast; I recognised three principle players, with the rest filling out incredible clichéd parts: the obnoxious crying child-in-danger, the black comic relief, the various faceless and personality-free bad guys. Kylie Bax wins awards for her chronic bad acting (absolutely hopeless) and shares the trait of having a silly name with most of her fellow cast members (you know you're in trouble the minute the credits roll).Dolph is his usual dependable action self, looking good, and surprisingly he is the best actor in this particular film. The bad guy Robert Miano is revealed in an oh-so-surprising-plot-twist, and is recognisable from his role in dozens of such offerings, although I personally know him as the bad guy in the hit '90s video game PHANTASMAGORIA. One favourable character is Scully rip-off Agent Lock, played by no other than Kimberley Davies, who you may remember as the delectable Annalise Hartman in NEIGHBOURS. Yep, she's still looking as hot as ever. Once-promising director Anthony Hickox wastes his talents here and is far from his interesting beginnings – although he is amusing as the Fox Mulder-wannabe CIA agent.

It was on TV last night. I wasn't expecting anything since I knew nothing about it. There were some negative parts, plot gaps, action gaps, logic gaps, the use of what appears to be a F-117A as the new "mystery" super plane. If you took it seriously and you had any idea about military, then there is a good chance you will not like this at all. I have plenty of knowledge about military matters but I still enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of one of those war movies from the 80's, with lower budget and not much time given to film or edit it. If you used to enjoy those films and you are willing to turn down your thinking for the duration of this movie, you can enjoy it. The action sequences are OK enough, Dolph has the best performance among the other actors and the whole thing is ridiculous enough to be interesting to watch to see what is going to happen next.Not sure if I am ever going to buy the DVD of it, but I do not regret at all watching it last night.

On the final stages of testing a military top secret stealth bomber, Air Force pilot Major Jack Holloway ( Dolph Lundgren ) is accused of stealing the aircraft and being part of a conspiracy. On his way to prison Major Jack Holloway is captured by a military special forces unit called the "Serpent Killers". With his life on the line, Major Jack Holloway ( Dolph Lundgren ) must do everything he can to escape their captured and find out who they are and what their plans are with the stolen military stealth aircraft bomber. With no one to turn except his friend Sparks, both must find out the "Serpent Killers" true intentions with the Storm Catcher.I really liked this movie, it's got great military stock footage, which is very well put together with the movie. The story is simple but it will keep you guessing till the end of the movie. It's got great action moments both in the ground and in the air, which i quite enjoyed.The only negative thing i did not like in this movie was some of the acting by some actors, which was really poor. Dolph Lundgren was the better actor from all the cast and Robert Miano was also good playing the General. In the end if you like action a little bit of drama and a twist in the end of the movie, then you will like this movie.

Need I say more? In several of the slow-mo gun fighting scenes you can actually see the silencers on the guns bend and wobble! In slo-mo! Close-up! What were they thinking when they decided that not only were those scenes to remain in the film, but that they should slow them down to make it easier to see the gaffes!Add to that extremely bad (painful!) acting, a thin plot, and some highly implausible physics (continuing to fly the plane after ejecting one of the seats!), and you get a really bad movie.It wasn't bad enough to just switch off, mind you, but then again I'll watch practically any movie.The only saving grace, that gets this movie a 2 instead of a 1, was the rather cool footage of the stealth bomber.
