Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson (“Ring Of Fire”, “Batman Forever”) stars in “Cyber Tracker”, a blatant rip-off of both “The Terminator” and “RoboCop”. This is a low-budget flick with nothing even remotely original about it.
Eric (Wilson) is a Secret Service agent, assigned to protect a Senator advocating the controversial use of robot law enforcement. However, he soon discovers that the entire robot law enforcement industry is a criminal enterprise and he himself becomes a target of the machines. If he hopes to survive, he must join forces with a rebel group to overthrow the tyrannical corporation that is increasingly seizing control of the federal government.
Don Wilson might be able to do some good kicking but he can’t act to save his life. He’s not even vaguely engaging as the film’s protagonist. Richard Norton (“Mr. Nice Guy”, “Magic Crystal”) plays the main henchman as he does an alright job. The fight between Wilson and Norton is probably the highlight of the movie. The robot cops look terrible and they are not remotely memorable. Terminator and RoboCop are both icons of cinema, when was the last time you heard anybody mention the robots from this movie? The other characters are boring and forgettable.
This is one of those films where everything looks cheap. The special effects are pretty terrible, the action sequence look underwhelming and as a sci-fi film, it does a real poor job of bringing you into its world. It’s not quite as bad “R.O.T.O.R.” (another “Terminator” clone) but that’s not much of a defence. “Cyber Tracker” is a cheesy and light-hearted movie so you might get some chuckles from just how corny it all looks and the fight scene between Wilson and Norton is mildly entertaining. However, this is a poor sci-fi/action flick and definitely not worth looking out for.
