SS Doomtrooper

Creating a digital superhuman to destroy the enemy is one thing, but to do it in the 1940's, well now you have something.  While the Allies used nuclear power in a bomb, apparently the Germans used it to genetically alter some soldiers.

A German facility has begun testing genetic alterations on some animals.  And the head scientist is ready to take his testing to the next level and use a human test subject.  A lucky soldier is put in the both and when he comes out, he transforms into a nine foot wrecking ball of a man.  He is outfitted with gear and will be used to prevent the rag-tag bunch of Ally criminals that are out to destroy the facility.

The problem with having a nine foot super trooper that cannot be stopped by the Allies, he cannot be stopped by the Germans either.  The Doomtrooper has a few enhancements from the transformation.  He now has the ability to electrocute his victims via touch, he can withstand the blast of several grenades and a direct hit from a tank, but can't take someone cutting him with a pocket knife.  What a joke.

If they are not fighting the digital creature, then the group of soldiers are performing great heroic acts.  At one point in the movie, the "actor" can't think of how to get out of a situation, so he coughs while practically screaming for another soldier to open fire.  Pathetic.

Very few, if any, scenes to get excited about.  If you enjoyed The Thin Red Line, then this is a movie for you.

I give this movie 1/2 out of 5 French resistance soldiers.
