Please don't spend money on this.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
View MoreIt was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreIt's Terminator 1/2 right down to the shooting off the arm, the bar scene, and the flexing.Throw in some clear Robocop homages, even down to the shots and locale, then sprinkle in some pre-Matrix Matrix-esque rebellion bits and pieces.Once you're done there, sprinkle in some explosions and a bullet-proof chrome dome, a bunch of mullets, a vaguely Australian guy, and Don Wilson inspiring the movie "Her" by simulating getting an AI system drunk and you've got yourself Cyber Tracker.That being said, it's a fun movie, and Pirates of the Caribbean ripped off the "explode a guy by trapping explosives in him" scene.
View MoreIn the future, there's a new kind of cyborg police officer capable of catching the guilty and dealing out punishment. Senator Dilly is the main proponent behind the Cyber Trackers, but not everyone is on board. When security agent Eric (I don't know his last name) helps stop a plot to assassinate the Senator, he quickly regrets his actions when he learns what the Senator is actually up to. Eric is framed for a crime and finds himself the target of the Cyborg justice system. He joins forces with the same group of vigilantes he had previously fought to put a stop to the government corruption and overreach. I don't know if any of that plot summary makes sense because the movie doesn't make sense. The plot is utterly ridiculous. There's no real motivation for anyone and characters just come and go. I didn't care about anything that was happening. The whole thing is obviously a cheap Terminator rip-off without anything that made that movie so good. Weak plot, poor acting, cheap special effects, badly choreographed fight scenes, and a general lack of talent from top to bottom. Apparently, the producers were under the mistaken assumption that you could make a compelling movie based on Don "The Dragon" Wilson's roundhouse kick. As Cyber Tracker proves, you can't.
View MoreIn the Los Angeles of the future, crime is rampant. So to help clear up the overly clogged judicial system, Senator Dilly (Aprea) institutes the American Computerized Judicial System. This basically consists of a robot, or android, or cyborg, or whatever (actually called a Tracker), that metes out justice right there on the spot, which means he's just going to shoot you. Dilly's bodyguards are Phillips (Wilson) and Ross (Norton). An underground movement of anti-robot revolutionaries springs up named the Union for Human Rights, who protest all of Dilly's ideas and plans. When Phillips falls in with this crew, Ross feels he knows too much and the former co-workers become mortal enemies on opposite sides of the issues. What will become the nature of justice in America? Find out by letting CyberTracker tell you today!Here we have a cross between R.O.T.O.R (1988)., American Cyborg: Steel Warrior (1993), Abraxas (1990), and Future Force (1989), along with fellow PM vehicle Hologram Man (1995) and more mainstream fare such as Universal Soldier (1992), Terminator (1984), Terminator 2 (1991) and Robocop (1987). But since it's a PM, it has all the high-quality explosions and action/stunt setpieces they're known for. And the movie as a whole is well-shot, in the PM style. So that prevents it from being your average sci-fi slog. But, falling into a common trap of low-budget future movies, everything is written in "future font", so you KNOW you're in the future. Just see David Heavener's Twisted Justice (1990) for further proof. That being said, the film drags once Phillips gets involved with the Union for Human Rights, but this is quickly corrected by the final fight between fan-favorites Richard Norton and Don the Dragon. Together at last, it's really a fan's dream to see them together. Their final fight is certainly worth seeing. Both Norton and Wilson show their prowess well in this movie, and it's always fun to see that the many goons all think they can take down Don the Dragon.As the bodyguard of Senator Silly..er...I mean DILLY, Wilson looks especially like Lou Diamond Phillips here. And his character's name is Phillips? Could that possibly be a coincidence?While the bald "judge jury and executioner" of the Tracker is a bit too ROTOR-y for its own good, it was played by Jim Maniaci of Timebomb (1991) and Cartel (1990) fame. Of the protesters, whose big gripe is that "Computers don't have hearts", Art Camacho appears. Wait until these people get a load of Apple. Hey-Oh! (to quote Ed McMahon). In another weird parallel, Phillips has a computerized companion in his apartment with a female voice named Agnes 1000. This is a lot like what Ed Marinaro has in The Protector (1999).CyberTracker is a good chance to see two of the DTV genre's leading lights in an offering by one of the top companies. Does it fulfill all the promise that description holds? Maybe not entirely, but you should probably see this anyway.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
View MoreThis is the first Don "The Dragon" Wilson movie I have ever seen, and nothing propels me to try out another one - sure, he is good at martial arts, but as an actor he has an uncharismatic screen presence. There's plenty of action in this film, with a new explosion every two minutes, and the effects are decent (considering the low budget), but the final Wilson vs. Richard Norton (a villain in some Jackie Chan movies also) showdown is the only notable fight scene. 0 out of 4 stars if you look at this as a "normal" film, 2 out of 4 if you look at it as a "B-movie".
