Storyline

In the not-so-distant future, Captain Jordan Strider, a Special Forces Officer in the New World Alliance, is chosen for a top-secret mission.

Eventually Strider discovers that he has been double crossed: The mission is an experiment to test the suit, which he cannot take off.

User Reviews

Excellent given its limits

Sure this movie clearly had a tiny budget.

Sure aside from the two main characters the actors were barely that, although the midget was pretty funny.

Zack Ward is definitely very underrated. I've seen him in several things and can only assume that he must have gotten on the wrong side of the wrong people in the industry to be so limited in the productions he is involved in.

All in all it is a good story, and for the limits with which it was produced I think they did a great job. Obviously this movie is no 10 out of 10 compared to big budget blockbusters, but taken in context, it was actually very enjoyable.
