Reviews
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Leofwine_draca I'm surprised at the low rating for STORM TROOPER because I found it one of the better Jim Wynorski movies I've seen. The film is a mish-mash of genre staples and came out as a straight to video release in 1998. I thought the script was pretty interesting, starting out as a family drama of spousal abuse and revenge before surprising you by going somewhere completely different.The story has a woman sheltering an injured stranger at her house when a bunch of paramilitary types turn up and launch a siege. The rest of the film is full of low rent action and endless fight and kill scenes which are nicely filmed. There's a TERMINATOR-style twist in the tale which has to be seen to be believed, while Corey Feldman and Zach Galligan both feature lower down in the cast list in supporting roles. You could do a lot worse.
Vomitron_G Alright! A sci-fi/horror/action B-hybrid directed by Jim Wynorski and in the final scenes we get to see a cyborg with a defleshed metal head killing off multiple people! As with any Wynorski-flick, he throws in a whole bunch of crazy ideas and subplots that mostly don't lead to anywhere. But "Storm Trooper" is more like a two-movies-for-the-price-of-one kind of deal. On the one hand we got the drama/thriller part (as such the film opens) with Carol Alt killing her incredibly annoying & ungrateful husband (a plot that simply leads to nowhere). And on the other hand we got the 'escaped cyborg on a rampage' part, "Night of the Living Dead"-style. With Carol and the Cyborg being the ones trapped inside the house and a bunch of special OPs/bounty hunters playing the role of the zombies, trying to break into the house. Needless to say this flick is not up there with the greatest. Zach Galligan (of "Gremlins"-fame) especially is painfully bad and Corey Feldman (in a small supporting roll) is once again completely wasted on this movie. Wynorski even rips off one of his own movies here, since I am 99% sure he used some stock footage of his previous film "976 EVIL II" (the scene with the exploding truck and the motorcycle). Yes, it's so not good and so much fun. This is strictly for Wynorski-fans only. And I am one of them, in case you didn't know already.
jora26 I thought this movie was alright, the bad reviews are from the people that just hate Corey Feldman, anyway take a look at this film some people will find it very enjoyable. especially action fans
JK-19 I think this is the worst movie I have seen since "Mortal Kombat 2". The action (including the effects) is like in a cheap Glen A. Larson TV show, the acting is terrible and the dialogs are even more stupid than in MK2. Avoid at all cost.
