Fugitive Hunter

I viewed this film privately during an acquisitions meeting in Santa Monica. I was somewhat interested in the general premise of this film but wasn't sure of how it would deliver. After a few minutes I realized that this was a gem of a micro-budget film. It follows an engaging story line that gets straight to the point, while not being obvious. The characters are unique. The dialogue is rough, but funny. The overall tone of the film follows more of a 80's action flick. Due to the film's lack of budget there are no special effects, but believe it or not it's not missed. Don't let the budget ($80k) deter you from watching this as the producers of this film stretched every dollar as far they could. The film actually looks like it could have easily cost close to $1 Million.

Overall, this is great piece of film that nobody will probably watch. It's also a great learning tool for those that wish to make films on the dime. I don't know if there's going to be a commentary on the DVD or not, but it would be a good idea. I recommend this film to anyone that enjoys taking a risk on something that they normally wouldn't see.

I'm giving this movie a 10 because I saw it on the same night I saw THE MARKSMAN. That movie sucked major. Snipes is finished. He should be glad he had a career or something.

FUGITIVE HUNTER was so much better than Marksman because it had a STORY!! Can you believe some movie makers forget to include that? I bought both films on Amazon together for a discounted price... who would have thought the cheaper looking movie would be way better? Not me.

For my money (of which they already stole from me) FUGITIVE HUNTER wipes the floor with THE MARKSMAN!

Saw this movie late at night and loved the dark humor. The banter between the two main characters seemed so real. I thought the acting by the supporting characters was a bit weak, but story was good. The dramatic tension was very consistent. The only major flaw about this movie would be that the music is way too cheesy. My favorite scenes involved Keno's smart play off Quick's tough exterior. The jokes are funny, the conflict is believable, and the movie is not too long. Most women probably wouldn't like this movie because of the all the corny macho guy dialogue, but I'm a girl and I actually enjoyed it. If you're interested in different type of movie to watch with some willing friends then this would be a good choice.

As others report this is quite an impressive effort, there are much worse movies you can watch. It is entertaining, and the plot is good enough. You will not even notice much that there was not a lot of money. In a car chase the fugutive hunters deliberate about putting a helicopter in the sky. "There is no time", they conclude.

All males are obese. Is this the start of a new genre? After blaxploitation now obeseploitation? Fat good guys hunting fat bad guys? Let's have donuts, hot dogs and shoot our guns? Heavy weight kung-fu? Quite a change after the skinny martian arts specialists and the regular American six-pack action heroes.

That all male characters are obese is not very disturbing, sometimes I noticed though, which pulled me away from the storyline. I'm not sure if this new attempt to a genre is a good idea, therefore.

Why do people have to copy films they see instead of making something original? There is nothing new or interesting in this movie. It looks like a bad DV movie. Rehashes of tired slo-mo shooting scenes, that are poor copies at that, and staged fights. Don't people realize that it's the film that shows something different and unique or weird that gets noticed? Seems like the filmmakers in Sacramento are still trying to ride the coattails of Blood, Guts, and Octane. A fluke of film that happened to hit at a time right when that whole indie Clerks/Pulp Fiction thing was big. But this is the to be expected, the outcome of mediocrity. I just hope one day people will wake up and see that.
