Eric is a secret agent currently working as security guard for senator Dilly. The senator is the main advocate for a new kind of police officer: the Tracker, a perfect and nearly invulnerable android. When Eric realizes that senator Dilly is playing dirty games, he does not only have Dilly's security chief Ross after him, but also those nearly undefeatable Trackers.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Plot Synopsis: Los Angeles in the future. Crime is kept under control by Core Trackers, android assassins dispatched by the United States Computerized Judicial System to execute the guilty. Secret Service agent Eric Phillips prevents an attack on his boss, Senator Robert Dilly (the man who set up the USCJS), by the Union for Human Rights, a group of anti-machine activists. Dilly attempts to initiate Phillips into his private circle but the SS agent goes on the run after witnessing Dilly murder a UHR agent in cold blood. Dilly sends Core Trackers after him. Phillips joins the UHR group & helps them uncover a conspiracy involving Dilly."Cyber Tracker" is the first of a number of sci-fi / action hybrids directed by Richard Pepin, co-founder of PM Entertainment, a powerhouse of action films during the 1990s. Other Pepin films include "Hologram Man", "T-Force", "The Silencers" & "Dark Breed". Pepin films typically start with a major action sequence which lasts about 10 minutes before allowing the plot to kick in. The script for this film has a few plot holes – it is never clear what the conspiracy the heroes are trying to stop actually is. As for the acting, Don "The Dragon" Wilson may be tough but cannot act for beans, with little charisma. His co-stars are a lot better. The film's best bet are the action scenes, which throw up some impressive artillery fire, a huge bodycount & not one but three moments where a vehicle flies through the air, flips & hits the ground, exploding. The visual effects border on the cheap side & the musical score is low-key & shrill.

Eric Phillips (Don Wilson) is a secret service agent who prevents the assassination of a senator however along the way he finds a conspiracy and has a tracker on his tail. The tracker by the way is bent on terminating Phillips. The most obvious inspiration for this low budget cheeseball action flick, is of course Robocop and while that film had some imagination and real energy, this just has a real life kickboxing champ running away from a robot. The movie isn't so awful as it is just empty and repetitive. The story is written in clichés and the characters are set up to be cut down by the various gunfire. Don Wilson, as usual, is terrible in the lead role.*1/2 out of 4-(Poor)

I admit that I have a bit of a liking for B-Movies. Sure I like good ones like Spielberg and that as well, but I love a good no-brainer at times. And CYBERTRACKER certainly falls into that category.I can see how this film could be considered a TERMINATOR rip-off. Hell, the Core Trackers even have an Arnie dress sense (black leather biker jacket.). But the story is very entertaining, and the action pretty good. It's pretty obvious that Don Wilson and Richard Norton are going to have a showdown, because they're both martial artists. As for their performances: well Wilson (who reminds me of a bulked-up Lou Diamond Phillips) is okay, as is Norton. Jim Maniaci, who plays all the identical Core Trackers, is pretty menacing too.But a problem is, some of the characters are not too well-developed. Case in point: Joseph Ruskin's character Rounds, head of Cybercare, is meant to be the main villain, but he just comes across as a typical BUH-HAH-HAH villain. Also Steve Burton as Jared has little room to develop here. SPOILER WARNING: I haven't seen all of CYBERTRACKER 2 yet, but Jared turns up in it, despite having been apparently killed in this movie, and NO explanation is given for his survival.That said, the performances are all generally good, but they're the kind you might expect from a B-Movie. Also, like a typical action movie, it seems that the bad guys only miss when they shoot at the hero, which can be a bit ridiculous.I love the two little twists at the end of the movie (what Operation Echo turns out to be and how Rounds gets his comeuppance). I recommend this film if you're just looking for a good time.

This 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".
