Bounty Hunters

...unfortunately not even Trish Stratus could make me finish. The movie that is.

I was surprised how bad the movie was: bad acting, bad martial arts scenes, no good story. I think a very amateurish low budget movie. Perhaps I am spoiled after watching more than 25 award winning movies the past two months. I guess I can't complain too much since the movie was only $5. at Walmart. I started to watch it with my 10 year old but after ten minutes of hearing all the swearing and seeing the poor movie quality, I shut it off and we watched another show. I have seen more movies like this made by wannabee movie makers, actors and actresses. It doesn't work if you are just good at martial arts and then decide to make an action flick. They don't have acting school and film school for nothing. I am sure all the people in the movie tried hard and are a great bunch of people but making a good movie is a real art and very difficult to do. Of course if I tried making a movie like this, it would be even worse for all the same reasons.

You're suppose to watch it for the hot wrestler who showed off her house on MTV Cribs and the action shots. I watched till the end so I guess it's watchable. I'm a female whose been watching these kinds of movies since I was five years old. The action shots were a 3/10 for me and the storyline was another 3/10. That's why I gave it a 6/10. There was a lot of swearing which would've been fine if I watched it at my home but I ended up watching it on Christmas Day at the relatives' place. But it was fun to watch while playing on the Playbook. I wish there was more details about each of the bounty hunters' history. The reason why I chose this movie was because I've been reading the Stephanie Plum Bounty Hunter series but there's nothing to compare between the stories.

I used to see Trish Strastus on WWE television and she was with them for several years before she decided to pursue other things and in 2011 she manage to do a film which she did some good acting even though the story in some area's were weak. I'll give Stratus kudos of acting in this film which was pretty much a indie production that had low budget but it's these kind of films that keep me watching to bide sometime like I am right now to watch CPAC on television. Hopefully Stratus will do another film hopefully a much more better film. She has good talents due to her background as a former professional wrestler who certainly had a great run being a WWE diva before leaving the company.

Any body that rents this movie, will not be looking for Oscar winning performances, clever plot twist, or a harrowing or moving narrative. - No, those that rent this movie want to see Trish Status looking hot and kicking butt, thats what the poster suggests and thats exactly what you get.

It would have to be noted though, that the acting and scripting in this movie are particularly below par (Classic B-Movie stuff here. The two male bounty hunters who accompany miss Stratus through the story, are certainly not in it to advertise their acting talents. One of which is supposed to provide a comic element, but only irritates throughout.

However the acting and the "plot" always feels irrelevant and second fiddle to the movies main agenda - which is to get Trish (ex wwe wrestler), looking fit and fighting fit - and its here where the film does deliver.

Stratus is also not looking for any acting Oscars here, but is looking to show off her fighting talents gained from her wrestling background. It has to be said, the fight sequences are decent, and Stratus does put a lot of energy in to them.

In summary not a good film by any means, but Trish does squeeze a guy unconscious with her thighs, which is probably why I give this film a generous 5 out of 10.
