When you hear the name Dolph Lundgren, you rarely think of quality films. I can't off the top of my head name one single good film I've seen him in. However, you can usually count on him being a good lead in the typical more-Braun-than-brain action-flick. This film is a tad bit uneven, but it doesn't deserve its low rating and bad rep. The plot is not original, but the twists are fairly good(I didn't see them coming, at least) and the pacing is above par for the genre. The acting is a bit below average in some scenes, but it's mostly satisfactory. The characters are pretty much one-note and underdeveloped. The cinematography is stylish, but there are times when it's a bit overdone(you know how, sometimes when you watch a film, you're wondering if the cameraman has fallen asleep? There were times during this where I wondered if the cameraman was sober). The director uses slow-motion a bit too often, particularly during action scenes. To counter that, however, there's some very good camera-movement in some of the action scenes as well. The one-liners get to be a bit over the top in some parts of the film. The action is usually intense, but a bit too often it's unrealistic, to the point where it becomes completely unbelievable(a goon's gun running out of ammo in a half a second burst, for example). The film managed to do something quite unusual for the genre, namely surprise me several times. I thought on more than one occasion that I had figured out exactly what was going to happen next, but the film surprised me. Something that bothered me(being a weapons enthusiast) was the amateurish way the guns were handled. Many silenced weapons made the sounds of non-silenced guns of a completely different type. Of course, that probably won't impact the viewing experience for anyone who isn't interested in weapons. All in all, good for a single viewing, if you can catch it for free. I recommend it to fans of the typical action-flick and/or Dolph Lundgren. Not particularly good, but you could do a lot worse. 5/10

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. -
Enchorde30 October 2004** 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 -
Quite bad indeed. Why on earth Dolph agreed to do this I'll never know. Maybe he just had some spare time. But he could have done something more worthwhile than this bore.
The story focuses on Jack Holloway who test flies a top secret plane (stock footage of a real plane that is not called Storm Catcher) and is framed for stealing it and hiding it in a hut out in the desert...or something. The way the story develops is VERY clichéd although I never did see the "twist" coming so it kind of did succeed there.
There are a few redeeming features, such as Mystro Clark as "Sparks" (desperately trying to add some black jive to the movie) and there are two oddball special agents who crop up every now and again but serve no real purpose other than to look like Hugo Weaving from The Matrix. I tell ya, the resemblance is uncanny. The woman who plays Holloways wife is badly miscast (and has found it difficult to get work since admitting her fondness of anal sex on the Howard Stern show) although the kid playing his daughter is a rather good actress.
Director (and Hugo Weaving lookalike) Anthony Hickox insists on using hand-held cameras in scenes that don't them and steadicam on scenes that do. I don't know what his method or technique of film-making is but it sucks.
The tagline is totally wrong too and gives you the impression that the story is going to build to a more satisfying climax. But it doesn't. Dolph is neither convicted nor is he sentenced so that is a huge lie.
Watch this movie on TV but do NOT rent it and do NOT buy it like I did. Save your money for Dolph's best movie...Joshua Tree. -
I have to say that this movie gets an "A" for effort for at least trying to be a good action movie. And although on some points it fails to deliver, it is still however an entertaining action movie. As a said above there are a few things that aren't that good about this movie. There are only really too things that stand out to me:
1- The needless graphic, and sometimes slow motion, violence. We don't need a closeup, slow-motion shot of a guy spitting blood just to make the movie better.
2- Some of the camera angles- In some of the more "dramatic" scenes in the movie, the camera tends to have a life of its own and seem to shake quite violently. This is so bad that you can barely see what is happening in the scene and it ruins it. Another thing is the excessive use of slow-motion. Anthony Hickox, as you will notice, is no John Woo. Except for one scene I can think of, this type of filming doesn't work in the movie.
Apart from that this movie is rather entertaining and, aside from the usual B-Movie plot-holes and bad acting, can provide a decent nights entertainment. I give a 6/10 purely on entertainment value alone.
PS: Notice how in one shot of the StormCatcher, one of the control panels looks somewhat like a control panel from The Enterprise? See if you can spot it at the beginning of the film. -
refinedsugar21 October 2001Okay yet another mediocre Dolph movie. I hear ya, but at least it's not Fallen Knight (AKA: The Minion). This time around Lundgren turns in a good, but predictable performance as a run of the mill character Major Jack Holloway. Who's a test pilot for the military's top secret warplane "The Storm Catcher" hence the movie's title.
What happens to the plane? Well of course it's stolen and he's framed for everything. Is there a conspiracy theory lodged somewhere in Storm Catcher? Yep. Do they use his wife and daughter as leverage to get him to do what they want? Yep. That itself isn't so bad they are typical clichés of the genre. It's the general inept story and more stupid characters than I'd like to count. Like two CIA agents named Lock & Load.
Storm Catcher is yet another undistinguishable action flick with predictability written all over it. It's a cheapie thru and thru (check out the usual assortment of stock footage), but somehow comes out looking half decent. Lundgren is decent here, but that doesn't allow it to rise over the giant heap of mediocre action flicks on the market as it is. You've seen this before, you've probably seen it done better. -
This movies had decent parts but making luvable big lug Dolph act like a loving,sensitive,middle-aged family man just looked silly. Dolph needs to play a emotionless killing machine,which is what he does best. Tony Hickox's directing was pretty good even though it was a little over the top at times. The film looks higher quality than you'd expect but the story and the dialogue are lacking. Mystro Clark is horrible and should have been replaced with Louis Gossett,Jr. For a much better recent Dolph flick, check out Bridge of Dragons.

tcordes9 April 2002Need 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. -
sddavis6324 September 2002This is dismal. A very weak cast offers predictably poor performances, and a very weak story about some sort of military conspiracy by a secret Special Operations force against the US Government simply serves to confuse the viewer, because it's impossible to really sort any of this out. Obviously recognizing the inherent (and huge) flaws in all of this, the writers choose to inundate us with extreme violence, mega shootouts, stabbings, etc., but it all just adds up to a dreadful movie and a waste of time for anyone who makes the mistake of watching it.

italian_angel_8231 May 2009On 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. -
Scouse768 November 2002There is isn't one single saving grace in the entire ninety dire minutes. Guessed the good and bad guys within the first five minutes and was forced to fast forward the remaining eighty-five.
I'm afraid there is nothing more to say. If at all possible avoid! -
tarbosh2200011 June 2015Jack Holloway (Dolph) truly has it all. As a proud member of the U. S. Air Force, he gets to live his dream of flying a radical stealth bomber called the Storm Catcher, serving under General William Jacobs (Miano). When he's not off going Mach 3 Turbo before it was a shaving razor, he spends time with his loving wife Jessica (Bax), and as a devoted football coach to a girls little league team featuring his daughter Nicole (Zima). However, the skies become less than friendly when someone dressed as Holloway kills a bunch of people, and, naturally, Holloway becomes the prime suspect. Breaking out of custody, Holloway and his buddy Captain "Sparks" Johnson (Clark) try to clear his name. But things get really real when Jessica is assaulted and Nicole is kidnapped. Realizing he's in a race against time against an evil cabal of baddies intent on misusing the Storm Catcher for their own evil ends, will Holloway be able to stop the madness? Storm Catcher is really a lot better than you probably think it is. Sure, it seems like another plane/guys-sitting-at-radar-monitors-giving-coordinates slog, and, to be fair, there are elements of that scourge of the later 90's, but it manages to rise above the others, much like Holloway's beloved stealth bomber. It's certainly better than Freedom Strike (1998), and that had Tone-Loc. Tone-Loc. So there was a lot to prove. Out of the movies from the "Dolph hitting the skids" period of his career, this one is the best. Unfortunately, things would sink back down after this brief high (no plane puns intended) when Dolph re-teamed with director Hickox the next year for the dreary Jill the Ripper (2000). So enjoy the small pleasures of Storm Catcher while they last, and there is plenty to enjoy here.
We see what the movie was trying to do. It was trying to go for that "theater-ready" vibe, what with the big-sounding score, the fact that it was shot well, and it includes some prescient dialogue that seems to apply more to today's political situation than ever before. It even includes some classic action bits like people running away from an explosion, and plenty of people get shot/beat up/blown up. But no matter how hard they may have tried, alas, it was destined for the video store shelf. Hickox never seemed to accept that he was a DTV director; at least for the first half of his career, notably with Full Eclipse (1993), he certainly tried to imbue his films with a professional, mainstream feel. Dolph probably liked his role as Holloway because he got to be the action hero as always, but he showed a sensitive side with the little league football scenes. Our guess is he would jump at the chance to do a Ladybugs (1992)-type movie, because he likes showing he's more than just an action guy. That will probably never happen in our overly-PC world, where kids are discouraged from football, especially girls, and especially with no helmets. Dolph was probably miffed that footage from this movie was nonsensically and lazily edited into the abomination that was Agent Red (2000).
Robert Miano again proves he's one of the more underrated actors out there, and the Storm Catcher plane is so technologically advanced, you can voice-text things you want to say (much like the Dragon program whose ads are constantly on TV), and it has minidisc abilities. It would probably be nothing without its minidisc player. Once again, Dolph delivers the goods against all odds. Feel free to catch this storm tonight. -
killjoy220 September 1999This movie was not what I expected of a movie with Dolph Lundgren. He must have needed the money pretty bad to do a film this poorly written. I have absolutely no idea what Anthony Hickox was thinking allowing some of the effects that were used. Bullets that go completely through one person (and punch them back several feet) are conveniently stopped by by a body so Dolph doesn't get shot. Stock footage that doesn't match the current scene, unless the White House and surrounding area have been relocated nearer to Utah and Nevada. And what in the world was up with the sergeant threatening to shoot the only person capable of flying the plane and delivering the weapon. While he is on board with him no less!. I will leave the wonderful thermal imaging and radar tracking for some one else to rip apart. This wasn't even good 'B' entertainment.

bob the moo22 June 2003Major Jack Holloway is the pilot of a revolutionary new fighter jet that is totally invisible to all forms of radar when it goes into stealth mode. When ever someone steals the jet, they frame him for the crime and kidnap his family in order to force him to fly it (he being the only person able to). However Holloway escapes from the group and enlists the help of technical wizard Sparks Johnson to out smart the group.
I'm not a big Lundgren fan but I'll always give his movies a go when they come on TV as I tend to hope that they will at least give me some cheap thrills as an average action movie. This film was a major disappointment in many ways. First of all the plot is not exactly clever but it hasn't been developed well enough to make it plausible, it feels like they wrote it with 8 key scenes in mind but were unable to make good links between them hence we have bad guys simply bursting into Holloway's home etc. It all feels very bitty and this also affects any excitement or tension it may have been able to have it simply doesn't flow as a film. In fact it is hardly developed at all when the climax occurs I had to wonder about the extent of the chief villain's plan, his claims were grand on a global scale but we had seen no evidence of the might he would need to pull it off, all I'd seen was a few guys who had been mostly dispatched by Holloway!
However a bad plot and poor development could easily describe many average action movie filling up the late night TV schedules, but this one has other flaws. The direction is indicative of the whole film rushed, untidy and uncaring. The camera swings around wildly, but not like is the fashion with NYPD Blue or H:LOTS but really wildly so that the mildest scenes are supposed to feel exciting and frantic they don't. The production values feel cheap with few special effects and al aerial stuff clearly stock footage. The most laughable thing (spotted as well by another reviewer) was when the unit came for Holloway's family and burst through his windows you could see the fake silencers on the toy guns bending all over the place! This is one example but it was full of cheap touches that gave me the overall impression that they just wanted to get the film finished and damn the quality.
The acting is poor at best. Lundgren is poor as he clearly has no character and has been given no direction and is thus not involved with his character. Therefore he seems relaxed in the plane (despite the seriousness of the situation on the ground) and also doesn't even convince when cheering his daughter on at a football game. Only in the fight scenes (of which there are few) does he seem to be trying and even then it's temporary. Clark is a typical `comedy black sidekick' and just exactly what he has seen done in other films before and just mugs his way through. Bax is annoyingly wooden as Holloway's wife and has a grating cut glass English accent which I can only assume the casting crew thought would `add colour' to the film. Miano is a really poor villain and never gets even to the standard of average thrillers. His character has no teeth and I never really saw his plan as realistic or something that couldn't be easily overcome his failure to be a threat really knocked whatever small amount of interest I still had out of me.
Overall even people who look forward to the next Lundgren film will be disappointed with this. In every area it feels cheap and rushed it is a product rather than a film. I had to wonder why I was bothering to watch this when it was so clear that everyone involved had put so little effort into this. Poor even by Lundgren's low standards. -
baeckw28 September 2002I would definitely not have bought this video if I had known ahead what it was like. Yet I'm being pushed by my girl to still rate this movie a 3 out of 10, because it had at least some of the action I was hoping for, and there was also a plot twist that was not 100% predictable. Can't complain about Dolph's performance either, he does the best he can , but he deserved a better movie to be in. I went on a Dolph Lundgren video shopping spree after seeing Silent Trigger, which was excellent. Let's hope those other videos are better than this.

gothic-child15 October 2005Man, this film was bad!!!! I have seen a lot of Lungren's movies, cause I was a big Lungren fan in the past. Now Dolph is really history for me, because most of his recent films are almost unwatchable.....including this one. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen on TV. The story is awful, the acting is even more awful and the dialogues are extremely awful. The editing is so bad it's beyond belief. I think the editor must have been drunk. Anyway, I consider this to be one of the worst movies ever (not the worst, because I have also seen Agent Red from his recent films, which is even worse). If you are looking for some karate fight scenes or something like that, there aren't any. This movie is like a bad joke!!!

telf-223 August 2007Filmed in 18 days? It shows. The acting is mediocre, the soundtrack is reminiscent of an 80s movie, and the plot is full of holes. This COULD have been a good film, as the overall topic is good, and the filmography is excellent. This movie should have been a lot longer, to fill the holes. The acting and movie truly sucks, and can be blamed on the writing and directing. The actors seem to have done the best under the circumstances.
This movie is best watched on a boring night with a LOT of beer. This movie is billed as "Action/Adventure", but you need to view it almost as a comedy/action. It is, however, somewhat lacking in the comedy element. The humour is rather dry, and must be viewed as such. If you're patient, the movie offers a satisfying ending, and an easy, low-stress, viewing. -
bort134 August 2001Yet another military "thriller" featuring bizarre conspiracies, incomprehensible dialog and the generic bad guy with the faceless hordes of masked killers, but this one features lots of crying.
More of Dolph Lundgren's confident, braggadocio; it also features his famous American accent imitation -- which he does pretty well, in all seriousness. There are cool booms and blowups and lots of silenced machine guns, as well as ruthless killing to establish the unequivocally evil nature of the antagonists. All the super villain's minions have full facial masks, prompting a strong, yet unfulfilled, desire for Jack to don one himself when infiltrating the hideout. I also think there was a spot for an air-vent-crawling scene in here which went unexploited.
Completely transparent characters are featured (the true villain is easy to pick out soon after he or she walks on the screen). Kylie Bax plays Jessica, the "come to bed hun" wife, and apparently also has lumbar vertebrae made of solid steel. Little Nicole's tear ducts are pumping the entire movie, except in flashbacks. I hate to think what kind of method-acting preparation she had to go through to prepare for the fount of tears she was to gush during the shooting. All deleted scenes with her crying should, nay MUST, make it into the director's cut.
A dramatic scene featuring all of these points is the central scene of the movie. This is a tour-de-force of Hicox' directing skill; I'm fairly sure that critics and film schools will later all be discussing the seminal, genre-defying "I Need a Doctor!" scene. This features several angles of slow motion Jack dragging Jessica's limp body into the emergency room, led by a running, screaming, lachrymose Nicole. The echoey sound editing mimics the changes in speeds and angles, repeating Dolph's vowel-mashed "I need a doctor! Where's a doctor?!" for about five minutes while entering a doctorless emergency room through a series of three or four swinging double doors. No, it's not a dream, either. I'll leave the excitement of the hospital scenes that follow to the reader/viewer, as my words would ruin the surprise.
My response to the gut-wrenching "I Need a Doctor" scene: how could any producer allow the director to encourage the editor to waste this much time on film spinning his wheels?
It was fun in a gruesome way, but I don't want to watch it again. -
LarsGottlieb16 May 2003This is a treat, if you're very heavily into actors who don't, fictious techno-talk and a storyline that must be a new record in implausibility.
If you really have nothing else to do for the duration, maybe you should consider reading the manual for your tv instead; it's certain to be more entertaining ... -
This an entertaining little flick, with a great performance from Lundgren!. it's always entertaining, with a good low budget cast, and an exciting finale. The effects are pretty good, and for a low budget, it was awesome especially the flying scenes!. i liked most of the characters, and it had 2 strong leads, plus i was able to root for all of the good guys since they were likable as a family unit. It started off a little slowly but then picks up soon, and becomes an action packed adventure, and it was great to see Lundgren do his thing!. The Direction is very good. Anthnoy Hicox does a very good job here, with some wicked camera angles, some really neat shots, and he keeps the film at a very good pace for the most part!. There is quite a bit of blood and violence. We get LOTS of very bloody gunshot wounds, knife in the back, with blood spurting,bloody stabbings, and a severed hand. The Acting is excellent!. Dolph Lundgren is AMAZING as always, and gives an awesome performance here, he is on top of things, kicks that ass, has good chemistry with Kylie Bax and was extremely likable! (Lundgren Rules!). Mystro Clark is very good here, as the comic relief and was very likable.Jon Pennell, is decent as one of the main villains. Robert Miano, is good as the main villain, and was fairly menacing. Yvonne Zima was cute, and does fine as the daughter, and was actually likable!. Kylie Bax is beautiful, and does fine as Lundgren's wife. Overall highly recommended! ***1/2 out of 5

mwluse2 February 2004I 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.
-
The Movie was pretty good for a typical Dolph Lundgren B - action movie, but the low budget is plain to see (especially as the director plays the CIA Agent in the movie himself) There are gaping plot holes and far too little action although the aerial sequnences were good. The acting is awful especially from Lundgren's wife. The movie was apparently shot in 18 days, so taking that into consideration it's a mindless fairly enjoyable lundgren veichle if not one of his best.
a MUST for his fans
My Rating 7/10 -
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. -
wellthatswhatithinkanyway29 December 2000STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
Strangely reminiscent of his earlier feature The Peacekeeper in a way,Storm Catcher is Dolph Lundgren's most solid,effective film of late.Directed with assured self style by Warlock helmer Anthony Hickox (who also stars inspiringly enough),this involvingly blends in impressive action scenes,character development and story telling to culminate into a thouroughly entertaining whole.The good,clean fun element of the story however,is ruined by some wanternly unnecessary bad language and bloodshed,which provide cactus stings in the back.Another funny query is if the bad guys went around America stealing company vans to perform their deeds.We see them in an ice cream van and what looks like a furniture company van.Why on earth would members of the milatary need to get themselves mobile in them?Still,it's near impossible to find an action film that doesn't have at least a trace of implausibilaty and weirdness in it.And speaking of which ,look out for Neighbour's Annalese Kimberly Davies as one of two extremely weird FBI agents who follow all the important characters around.*** -
Jon Jonasson27 August 1999There is nothing wrong with the plot itself, but the actors/actresses can't really carry the heavy load of bringing the thin dialogue to the level expected for a movie with this magnitude.
The tear-jerker scenes in Storm Catcher (there are more than one would think) doesn't really do the job either.
Since i myself like Dolph Lundgren as an actor and was looking forward to some real action, i was disappointed with this movie. Storm Catcher lost it's momentum after only a few minutes, and wasn't able to really draw my attention until close to the end.
There are better action movies around, although Lundgren's performance was pretty good compared to some of his older ones.
