Hellmant 'SCORCHED EARTH': Three Stars (Out of Five)A post-apocalyptic sci-fi western, starring Gina Carano as a bounty hunter who hunts down criminals in a climate change ravaged Earth. The movie also costars John Hannah, Ryan Robbins, Dean S. Jagger, Stephanie Bennett, Patrick Sabongui and Patrick Gilmore. It was directed by Peter Howitt, and it was written by Kevin Leeson and Bobby Mort. The film is now available for rent on video and VOD, and I found it to be mildly entertaining. In a future world, mostly destroyed by climate change, the two most valuable commodities are water purifiers and silver (used in breathing masks to survive the polluted air). Driving vehicles is outlawed, and Gage (Carano) works as a bounty hunter that rounds up criminals who break this law (as well as others). Her current target is Thomas Jackson (Robbins), an outlaw who's building a town to protect other criminals like himself. She gets into a lot of trouble, of course, trying to bring him to justice alone. Her friend Doc (Hannah) comes to her aid, and the streets quickly turn to blood.The movie has a great setup, and plot in my opinion. Carano is also an awesome action heroine lead, or at least she can be (like in 2011's 'HAYWIRE'). The film doesn't have a lot of good payoff though, and most of it is pretty dull actually. It's mildly entertaining throughout, but it seems like there was a lot of potential to do so much more with this film. So it's hard to argue that it's not a disappointment, in the very least.

MissTuesday I have to say that I started this film figuring already in advance that it would be the perfect kind of film to eat in front of (meaning I wouldn't need to pay much attention as I ate serenely). Well hell. I was so right I actually didn't need to look up from my pasta. Or from my phone. Or from playing with the cat. It's too bad, the idea could have been funny, like in the film "Bounty Killer" except here it just ends up feeling like a cheap try (really, everyone is dying of poison air and water and the 'authorities' are worried about people driving cars? seriously?). Maybe I missed the big picture, I'm sorry, I got lost in the bad acting, bad costumes and bad special effects (no, let's be honest: there weren't any). Seriously speaking though, the main character was probably written to be an 'anti-hero' (what a shocker, it seems like everyone is following that trend) except that the writers don't seem to have looked up the definition. An anti-hero doesn't lack all morals, they simply go about their world saving in an obscure, unconventional way usually motivated by a dark past. Ok, so they got the dark past somewhat covered but the rest was just rush-write bullcrap. One moment she's this big bad, unemotional killer who doesn't care for anyone but herself and the next she's crying out "Nooooooooo!" to the ditzy young blond whom she's just met and who (litteraly ten minutes ago) just turned on her and got her beaten almost to death? Here is my final words for this film: "Whyyyyyy?"

adonis98-743-186503 A bounty hunter named Atticus Gage tracks down criminals in a post-apocalyptic Earth. Another cheap B Movie about the end of the world with lazy over the top acting, boring action scenes and terrible dialogue, perhaps pass it for the better. (0/10)
