Scorched Earth

Watchable, giving the plots partly similar to both Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" and "Pale Rider" with a bit of Mad Maxish's enemy wasteland cars. Though none of the editing scene to scene were irritating throughout. The actors are average but not imposing enough with the exception of Gina's acting, she is certainly suited for more kick-ass heroine roles in movieland.

Well, it seems that all women on a path to stardom have to go through this, a cheap revenge movie. I think this actress has a future, and I suppose she knew that this would be a risk. The movie itself is unremarkable. What is mildly interesting is the setup. The movie wants to be a western, but it gets there by a strange setup.

An event in the future creates a Mad Max environment, that just happens to have Western sets, produce cowboy guns and cowboy-like dynamics and costumes, and get this, a silver mine with old fashioned gear and dynamite. The only difference is an air pollution that requires the bad guys to wear filter masks that resemble the bandanas of original movie westerns.

Why? What is gained by giving a familiar setting by such a strained setup? Let's assume it was designed and the intent was to make the story we see more real by contrasting to the setup which is goofy and fakey.

And you know, it works, sort of -- making this seem less terrible than it is.

You can do something better with your time.

I just finish giving Gina Carano good reviews in Heist and now they put her in this trash. Bad script and a waste of her fighting skill and little chance to show acting. Be prepared for a dud.

This low budget flick steals ideas and scenes from other far superior films. A poor feeble attempt at a post apocalyptic western with an environmental message. Uninspired acting as if they are just going through the motions expect for Gina Carano as the main role as a bounty hunter BARLEY saves this from a scrap heap rating of 3 or below Gina deserved better than this and so do the viewers.

This is a poor movie, that should be on in the background whilst you do something else, you shouldn't put any time aside to actually watch this, I like Gina and she had great potential to become an action star so why get involved in his drivel. Also, just a small point about the costume designers, one of the premises in the movie is the toxic atmosphere and the reliability on masks and silver?? None of the masks had filters on them which really bugged me, do some research people, masks need filters...
