You can find something better to do with your time
Sexy but untalented Emmanuelle Vaugier plays a psychic FBI agent (no, we haven't seen too many of those) who must confront the aftermath of the government program that produced her. Aside from the uninspired direction, the dull screenplay, and the underwhelming performances, it's not a bad film. It's always depressing to see quality performers such as Eric Roberts, Clarence Williams, and Michael Moriarty slumming in substandard product. I would include the dependable Michael Ironside in that list, but hasn't he built his career on this kind of thing?

Mind blow
I wish I could say a few nice things about this movie, but I can't. 'Mind storm' is a sad attempt at a psychic thriller. At best this would have been an ok late, very late night TV show on an obscure cable channel. Ok here is the set up; a govt, experiment to give children psychic abilities goes awry and years later comes back to bite some of the same govt officials in the back side. One of the kids grows up to be a cop working to help find missing children. She is played by Emmanuelle Vaugier. She is very sexy, but sadly can't act to save her life. Her half way partner, played by Antonio Sabato Jr needs to go back to Soap acting. Maybe they both do? There were a few high points. Michael Ironside plays the Senator. He always makes a great bad guy. Clarence Williams III player Emmanuelle's adoptive father, and William B Davis (of the X-files) makes a guest appearance as the head mad scientists. Eric Roberts plays the reincarnated childhood friend. Man, what happened to him after 'Runaway train'? The story was weak, as was most of the acting. The sets looked cheap and the special FX were low budget. I say stay away from this one.
Sorry to say but this was a real stinker. I only give it 2 stars because of Ironside and Clarence Williams... ... Read more

ADRENALINE KICKER
EPICENTER kicks off in high gear and maintains a frenetic pace that keeps the adrenaline pumping....and that's all I ask from a B action thriller. I don't expect great acting, or deep psychological motivations. This is a great popcorn movie. And some other interesting things about it:
*Gary Daniels, like fellow martial arts actors Chuck Norris, David Bradley, etc., will never win any Oscars. But this ruggedly handsome and quite different actor shows a deep desire to at least put as much as he can into his performance. In this one, he relies on this ability rather than his martial arts. He doesn't take his shirt off at all, and he has only one real fight scene, which is very brief.
*Traci Elizabeth Lords likewise won't make the world forget Meryl Streep or Sigourney Weaver, but given her background, her ability to rise even this far is commendable.
*It was good to see venerable character actor Henry Beckman again. As the old codger trapped in the elevator with the two kids, he and his parrot reminded me of those great older movies where actors like Beckman played such a fun, integral part.
*And in spite of everything, the movie has a happy ending without the lovers consummating their relationship.
It's a fundamentally adrenaline rush!

Attn: Studio exec's - EPICENTER is stealing from you!
EPICENTER commits one of the worst crimes I've ever seen commited by a film and it's creators. What's that crime you ask? Stealing! I don't blame the screenwriter. I don't blame Gary Daniels (I mean for a "B" action star he usually makes decent "B" action fare) but I do blame whoever used the scenes from METRO with Eddie Murphy and the train sequences from MONEY TRAIN and the elevator scene from SPEED. Don't beleieve me? Watch this, then watch METRO and the other movies mentioned. I thought I was the only one who would notice this but apparently I am not. It's that freaking obvious! The whole beginning chase scene is from METRO. They added two bad guy characters to focus on just because Eddie Murphy and Michael Rappaport were their stand ins. I think it's absolute bull---- that the stunt men for METRO and teh special effcets people for SPEED and MONEY TRAIN didnt get paid twice. I mean, technically they worked on this stupid waste of celluloid and didnt even receive credit (not that they'd want it) for it. This film is ridiculous! Stealing scenes from another movie is, in my opinion, the laziest, cheapest, worst thing that could be done in a film. I've already seen METRO - why would I want to see the same exact chase again? I mean, if you don't have the money to make your own movie then don't make it and like director Robert Rodriguez said, if you've written something in your script that you cant afford to shoot...rewrite the script!

Skip this movie -- It isnt worth the one star...

Great fun !
Okay - so a former porn star is the leading actress. This is a smart and fun filled action adventure film. I didn't expect to like this film, but I actually loved it. The dialouge was witty, the special effects were amazing and the entire story line was not only entertaining but engrossing as well. I found myself glued to the set. And surprisingly, except for a couple of scenes (possibly thrown in for tongue in cheek emphasis) Lords does a darn good job herself. This film is worth your time and one you will find yourself watching again.

Epicenter - Great Action Movie
Epicenter, starring Traci Elizabeth Lords, has already been released internationally. After seeing it both in theater and on the German language DVD, I am thrilled to see this US action thriller released on DVD here in the US. The special effects are incredible. But best of all this is not just a disaster movie - the movie has a great action filled plot. I am excited that the U.S. release will be available soon. ... Read more

In the near future, computerized justice handles the apprehending and execution of dangerous criminals in the form of Cybertrackers, cyborgs that look like a cross between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mr. Clean. Secret service agent Eric Phillips (Don "the Dragon" Wilson) runs afoul of these alloyed androids when he's set up for the murder of an underground rebel fighting for a kinder, gentler form of mechanized law enforcement. Phillips joins the rebels, and together they kickbox their way toward wresting control of the judicial system from the hands of the stick figures who run it. Along the way, vehicles and androids alike blow up real good. This is Robocop with kickboxing instead of a cynical sense of humor. --Jim Gay ... Read more

GOD BLESSED THE EARTH WHEN HE SENT US CYBER TRACKER
what else can i say but.....perfection. My faith in sci-fi was damaged with movies like terminator (1&2) The alien series and other horrid movies like predator. But low and behold a blessing comes in the form of CYBER TRACKER. This is the best movie i have ever seen, I will never understand why it was not nominated for oscar(s) It could have won in any catergory drama, comedy, action, and romance. Don the dragon Wilson gives possibly the best performence since John gertyue in Killer clowns from outer space. From the looks of it GOD himself did the special effects, not since Toxic avenger 4 have i seen effects like these. They were 2 say the least captivating. Not to mention the score James horner knows nothing about music compared to this guy. I dont know what else to say, you have to check his gem out for your self. and if you have time check out CYBER TRACKER2, CYBERNATOR(which is included in the great sci-fi double pack with cybercity) and cyborgcop please e-mail me back with your own personal reviews oh yeah it's a great country when you can get BIRD ON A WIRE, CYBERTRACKER, AND LEORNARD PART 6 ON DVD, BUT CANT GET STARWARS INDIANA JONES, FORREST GUMP, OR JURASSIC PARK AMONG OTHER CLASSICS THANX ALOT MR. LUCAS AND MR SPEILBERG COCK ... Read more
