Well, the acting is f.. really gay, they should have dubbed his accent or got him to speak american cause it just didn't cut it for the hard man that daniels was tryin to portray, plus it was another post apocalyptic flick and we all know how good they all r.*sigh's* the two mains boys Daniels And Genesse are both amazing fighters and the fight scenes in this film show this awesomely at times especially the last fight between the two of them.i would advise u to rent this if there was nothin new to rent and u are in the mood for martial arts, cause it is for only these reasons that it is worth renting, other wise just leave it till another day. i am really hoping both of these guys get roles on a gd tv series or a high budget movie release cause they could do any martials arts film justice as long as the story ain't poo and the other actors in the film can actually act, a good director would also be good, but we can only pray that john woo be the man cause that would be really amazing. anyways u may aswell rent this cos u'll probly go and waste u'r money on another b-movie any way, think bout it, good luck.
The video rental and sales industry has for some time given birth to a whole mess of independent and low budget action films. While most are forgettable, a few rise above the pack by offering something that big-budget Hollywood films do not. In the case of Isaac Florentine's Cold Harvest, we see the continuation of a long tradition of bringing Western martial arts action to the small screen. Florentine brings his Eastern-inspired action, lightly peppered with a certain over-the-top playfulness to the well-tread, post-apocalyptic genre and throws in a dash of Spaghetti Western sensibility. As a B-movie, Cold Harvest is a cut above thanks to director Isaac Florentine's emphasis on quality martial arts action. Akihiro Noguchi, one of Florentine's cohorts from his Power Ranger stints offers competent choreography.
The concept of a bounty hunter/hero in a frontier post-apocalypse is a challenging one to pull off successfully with any budget. The few past successes like Escape from New York, The Road Warrior, and Six-String Samurai all had more to offer overall. But solely on the grounds of martial arts content, Cold Harvest, along with Jean-Claude Van Damme's Cyborg (1989) are leaders in this over-played sci-fi category. Gary Daniels fans won't be disappointed.

I consider this movie being one of the best Gary Daniels' works. The range of his roles rarely goes further then "good guy, saving the World". And "Cold Harvest" I like exactly for this role of Daniels- tough bounty-hunter, not typical for him. Actually, English have a strange gift to perform villains, making them charming(Jason Isaacs, Alan Ricman, etc). Fights are very dynamical and if I'm right the director of fights was Chinese. So it only helped this movie. And do not talk about Dolph Lundgren on this place. Daniels is O'K. And I think this movie is a sort of joke, game about future. Who knows what will happen in future? No one. So let guys to play.Gary Daniels is very energetic.
What do you get when you mix Hong Kong-inspired fights and stunts, John Woo-type shootouts, spaghetti Western-like faceoffs and post-apocalyptic settings ala Albert Pyun? You get "Cold Harvest", except that this ambitious mix is not as interesting as it sounds. Gary Daniels is fun to watch, especially in the fight scenes, and Barbara Crampton does a surprisingly good job in her role, but why do they have the main villain, who turns out to be an awesome fighter, fight only once (at the end), and kill people with his guns throughout the rest of the movie? If you're a fan of Gary Daniels (and I'm slowly becoming one myself) check out "Bloodmoon" first, as it has more fights and a fantastic villain (Darren Shahlavi). (**)
This movie is half western, half kung fu movie. And it takes place in the future! But the results are pretty good. The story moves at a fast pace. Gary Daniels makes a very cool hero in this one! The villan could have been better though. Nice mix of fighting and shootouts. One of Gary Daniels' best movies!
