    Z grade movie had potential

    In the future scientifically enhanced fighters do battle at a tournament arranged by the Corporations who developed the technology.

    With a bigger budget, a better cast and a more capable director, Heatseeker actually had some potential. Unfortunately, it is poorly acted, badly photographed, and there is a dreadful music score. The sets could also have been much better. The only thing going for it is some halfway decent fight sequences. But this isn't enough to warrant even one star.

    Pyun delivers a weak, cheap borefest

    I have enjoyed some of the directors previous efforts. Nemesis 1 and Cyborg are great films. This is not.

    Gary Daniel's looks great but the script is tired and unoriginal. The cybernetics are practically none existent except a couple of cheap make up appliances.

    The ending seemed so rushed it leaves you thinking! Wtf just happened!? That's it!?

    A wasted opportunity to have cyborgs fighting each other in a Bloodsport style competition. But the cyberpunk aspect is none existent. Just a martial art, computer game style back n goth with cheesey sound effects. Cheapest sets ever and some of the campiest baddies ever.

    Not even good in a retro camp way.

    Avoid.

    in the right hands....

    this could've been a martial arts B movie classic. But if I didn't know better, I'd swear this was made from a video game. Sadly it's that bad. That said, I've studied martial arts a long time and the choreography was interesting enough to keep me watching. That and Keith Cooke is no joke. He's the real deal and he's been around a long time though he never had a big enough vehicle to really exploit his talent.

    I give it a 5 because I'm a martial arts junkie and a huge fan of cyberpunk. Even sucky cyberpunk like Johnny Mneumonic. However the movie was a letdown in that it really didn't establish the cyberpunk theme. Too bad because the premise is great. A totally human fighter enters a tournament of cyber enhanced fighters. But in fact they could've taken the cyber stuff out, and you'd have the same exact movie pretty much. Oh well, for a late night movie on Sci Fi I can't really complain I suppose. :D

    Kickboring !

    No budget, no actors, and a plot that has been used so many times that it is threadbare. Red-and-blue oozing neons tries to hide the fact that this is all done in cheap sets, as most video fodders. Avoir this.

    Heatseeker? This movie is not for me...

    Heatseeker is a movie which is definitely not my favourite action movie. The director Albert Pyun has wasted his talent on this sop-chocky pile of a film.

    The whole thing dosen't make sense and I think the actor's were paid a dime to play on this one.

    I would've thought that the title "Heatseeker" could've been for a sci-fi movie. But this is half sci-fi and half martial arts.

    Well, as for this, this is a thumbs down for this one. I'm not going to see it again!
