Trancers (1984)
6/10
This is just a slightly above average addition to the genre that is worth seeing once but is not a classic.

Trancers (1984) is a movie that recently grabbed my attention when I saw it was falling off Tubi this month. The storyline focuses on a bounty hunter from the future sent back to Los Angeles to stop a man who can take over peoples bodies and do whatever he wants. The bounty hunter also is in a host body and will need to try and be inconspicuous for his plan to work. This movie is directed by Charles Band (Puppetmaster) and stars Tim Tomerson (Dollman), Helen Hunt (Twister), Richard Herd (Get Out) and Art LaFluer (The Blob). The storyline and overall movie starts hot and losses some steam. The opening diner scene and battle with Santa Claus is awesome...then there's not much else in terms of action and cool effects after that. I did like the way they had LA in the ocean and thought the "squid" references were funny; but overall, this is just a slightly above average addition to the genre that is worth seeing once but is not a classic. I'd score this a 6/10.
