Featured reviews
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.
I like GC and will try any movie she's in. This one combines some of my favorite genres: action, apocalypse/dystopia, revenge. It's nice to see a female action hero like her that can fight and also resembles a real human woman that can take on a 6'-5" man and throw him across a room but still look beautiful doing that. I think the plot was thin, and some of the costuming was distracting. But generally an interesting take on the loner revenge western and a good vehicle for Carano's action star skills.
But........ Gina Carano carries it and it's still pretty good! EVERY single thing is copied straight from the 1995 western. They did make it in the future and they have gas mask on 1/4 of the time, but the rest is straight a western with all the same characters. Still pretty fun to watch.
I'm up for most anything but this is literally Zena the warrior princess meets a B version of mad max...it's painful
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.
