Bounty Killer

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this film. Post apocalypse films can run the gambit from good to god awful luckily Bounty Killer is squarely down the middle .Its not great cinema but it's not cringe inducing by any stretch. The box art IS very misleading as you are led to believe Kristanna Lokken is the female lead which is NOT the case. Lokken is in the film and has a strong secondary role but is not Mary Death the female lead who is actually played by Christian Pitre. Bounty Killers are well bounty hunters working to collect bounties mainly placed upon greedy former corporate types who led the world to ruin. Drifter played by Michael Marsten is a loner who collects bounties but is over shadowed by his former protégé Mary Death.They have a past but try and stay apart but forces bring them together .Back to Ms.Lokken for a moment she plays a corporate executive named Catherine who was once married to former exec Drifter and has placed a bounty on his head. She also has a corporate bounty hunter Van Sterlin played by Gary Busey ! at her disposal. Mary also was once a part of a traveling group of gypsy bounty hunters that want a piece of her ass now. A part of the story unfolds at a saloon/brothel called the Thirsty Beaver 9love that name) run by Lucille the still lovely Beverly D;Angelo. Of course any movie featuring guns,bounties,mad max rejects chasing after people,corporate greed and cleavage cannot be all bad right? Marstens is good as Drifter he's aided by his gun caddy Jack Le Mans (Barak Hardly) a goof ball type of sidekick .Pitre as Mary Death looks super sexy her acting is not that good but not awful either.Lokken is good as the cold hard bitch and looks great as usual. Busey and D'Angelo are good in their roles as well. Recommended for those who like B films and post apocalypse films.

[a spoiler-free review]Bounty Killer is a cultural mishmash that manages to borrow from multiple mediums and blend them appealingly (if you don't mind *gallons* of blood splashing everywhere) for its 92-minute duration. Good acting was never the intent here, but it did take some talent to portray these roles as intended. Additionally, most of the minor characters in Bounty Killer are presented with a thoughtfulness that makes this more of a "B+ movie" than a B movie. Combined with some handy camerawork and large helpings of a tongue-in-cheek attitude, you get a lotta fun. The plot was more of a background device than a coherent and crucial aspect to Bounty Killer, yet there is something surely charming about the premise of slaughtering CEOs who helped to destroy the economy and the planet. The pace of the film is insane at times... it certainly held my attention from beginning to end.One of the negative reviewers stated that many aspects of the film were for the "stuck-at-thirteen crowd," but he [1] didn't seem to understand that Bounty Killer celebrates B movies, [2] likely missed cultural references, and [3] provided a ludicrous complaint against the short skirts and clevage. Drifter without Mary Death would be like Crouching Tiger without Hidden Dragon, and Mary exuding her sensuality was quite simply the icing on Bounty Killer's cake.Glad I own this on Blu-ray now, because I will be watching it again sometime: a Solid 3.5 stars

The first complaint people would level against this movie is that it's a "Road Warrior" knock off. And is that a bad thing? It's pretty damned original in its dystopian future, a world destroyed by megacorps and regained by the common man. And after the 2008 crash, who doesn't want a little wish fulfillment of seeing one percenters hunted down for their crimes?Matthew Marsden makes a charismatic loner hero with a dark past, and sidekick Barak Hardley not only fulfills the comic relief role, he plays marsden's conscious -- and gets into the action too.The movie really belongs to Christian Pitre as Mary Death, the love interest who could carry a film of her own. She's also given a backstory as interesting as the lead's.Kristanna Lokken and Gary Busey pop up in scenery-chewing rolls, but that's too be expected (and relished).and did I mention the blood spraying and high speed chases? Perfect for a fun-loving afternoon of mayhem. Get this team working on a sequel or another action movie!

It came quickly and was exactly what I wanted and was in perfect condition. Thank you

There are some movies that throw caution to the wind and have you laugh with them all the way. Bounty Killer is pure entertainment. It is a rebooted Roger Corman type movie with elements of Mad Max thrown in for good measure. The stars, Matthew Marsden and Christian Pitre, are a great looking couple with wonderful tongue-in-cheek chemistry. Some of the supporting players do not fare as well ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, but perhaps that was the director walking that fine line of action/comedy. One cannot help loving the idea that someone out there made a film about placing a bounty on corporate greed and handling the whole thing Rambo/Mad Max style. Bloody good fun for the B movie lover.

So much fun- I have seen it many times already. I wish I could have bought a digital copy but I don't know anyone selling that...oh well DVD will have to work.

I'm a sucker for Post Apocalyptic stuff. Honestly watched the trailer and figured it'd be terrible but why not. The action, cinematography, music, sound design, acting was all way above average. The script was uneven but it got from point A to B. Some dialogue was terrible but some was pretty good. The lead actress is gorgeous. Some of the special effects were really cool. If you're a fan of the video game Fallout, you'd love this movie.

An apocalyptic film... with a sexy heroine. Not the best movie ever but enough there to make the ride enjoyable.Better still the seller provided an exceptional experience with both the product received and the time he took to expedite my package. Thanks!

Dans le genre, c'est super

My Blu-ray disc entitled "Bounty Killer" arrived on time and is in good condition. Thank you Amazon (Au) for timely dispatching my order and to Amazon Logistics for their usual fast, personal and safe delivery.Apocalyptic corporate greed wars have razed society. From the ashes, a retributive "Council of Nine" has arisen, with no oversight. The "Council" issues death warrants for white collar criminals. The Bounty killers action these warrants, with battles aplenty, for prestige and cash. However, below the surface is a simmering love story between our two main characters, Drifter and Mary Death. Afraid of committing to a relationship because they both fear that ultimately any relationship will be doomed. Finally, love flourishes when they choose to work together for a mutually beneficial goal: the exoneration of Drifter.As an apocalyptic thriller, it's generally unremarkable. It isn't bad, it's watchable, but it's just not that good. Plot wise, the film didn't offer many innovative ideas. The battle scenes seem familiar, but they aren't on such a grander scale as some others of this genre. The film uses the same usual basic sets (deserted towns and desert) as others of this genre. Costuming is pretty standard, for this genre. Although, I was pleased to see Mary Death in a pristine very short dress, displaying ample decolletage, faultless hair and make-up in every scene. Such a resourceful lady, in the circumstances.The film is reasonably fast paced. You don't seem to wait too long for the next battle. Although, the better battles are towards the beginning and the end of the film. I quite liked the action in this film but not as much as the romance (maybe, I'm just a sentimental romantic). I enjoyed the way Drifter and Mary Death solved every problem they encountered, together. Finally, realising that they can have a future, together, in this harsh inhospitable apocalyptic world. A feel good film with some battle and make out action.Overall, an enjoyable film. Offers some variety: a female kick ass character with real passion for work and play. Just not the best apocalyptic film of its genre.

recentemente trasmesso sulle reti rai. action movie futurista passabile per gli amanti del genere, a cui consiglio la visione. A quando la versione italiana?

Well it is not Road Warrior for sure but more of knockoff! Hard to decide if this a cartoon, action or comedy or just a bad B movie with lots gore. If you like cartoon characters and lots of gore than you may give it 4 or even 5 stars. While I like gore and action this film just doesn't what makes a film a good one. Kristanna Loken of the original Bloodrayne vampire fame is one of the eye candies and the other is Christian Pitre as Marry Death and they are the reasons why add an extra star, otherwise I would rate as 2 stars only.
