SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Hellmant 'SCORCHED EARTH': Three Stars (Out of Five)A post-apocalyptic sci-fi western, starring Gina Carano as a bounty hunter who hunts down criminals in a climate change ravaged Earth. The movie also costars John Hannah, Ryan Robbins, Dean S. Jagger, Stephanie Bennett, Patrick Sabongui and Patrick Gilmore. It was directed by Peter Howitt, and it was written by Kevin Leeson and Bobby Mort. The film is now available for rent on video and VOD, and I found it to be mildly entertaining. In a future world, mostly destroyed by climate change, the two most valuable commodities are water purifiers and silver (used in breathing masks to survive the polluted air). Driving vehicles is outlawed, and Gage (Carano) works as a bounty hunter that rounds up criminals who break this law (as well as others). Her current target is Thomas Jackson (Robbins), an outlaw who's building a town to protect other criminals like himself. She gets into a lot of trouble, of course, trying to bring him to justice alone. Her friend Doc (Hannah) comes to her aid, and the streets quickly turn to blood.The movie has a great setup, and plot in my opinion. Carano is also an awesome action heroine lead, or at least she can be (like in 2011's 'HAYWIRE'). The film doesn't have a lot of good payoff though, and most of it is pretty dull actually. It's mildly entertaining throughout, but it seems like there was a lot of potential to do so much more with this film. So it's hard to argue that it's not a disappointment, in the very least.
Edwin Please start to create the minus -10 . Low cheap budget movie, no actors, dialogue by force, no production, no director, this is a cheap low budget movie made by a bunch of neighbors in California, no story no history, nothing, no FX nothing, really terrible movie no waste your time download this horrible terrible movie. For sure the good comments are the families and neighbors of the kids and the poor producer and director. This people and his director must be ban to produce or make another domestic VHS home movie.No real story, bad acting. Waste of time
Eddie_weinbauer This script is so bad,it makes American Ninja look oscar worthy. You can clearly see why Sean Bean turned this down. It comes off as a really bad rip off,from Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider.The biggest problem is the bad script,the horrible acting.It has clearly all the signs of a Western,only it has been pushforward in the modern day of age.Added a dose of doomsday and end of the world.GIna doesn't even look like she is trying to act,but then again,neither does the rest. The story is: that the world has been devastated by man made disasters,caused by global warming.And that everyone who drives a vehicle based on combustion engine.Which uses gasoline and spew exhaust, is considered an outlaw, and are thereby by hunted by bounty hunters.The problem is,there's no explanation as to where the government get data/information about who drives what,and where. Nor how they communicate with the local law offices, around the wastelands. There is some talk about how they drop by every now and again.To leave silver and water purification tablets,which work as the payment for the bounty hunters. But nothing,bout how they get from A to B. There are Horses as transportation,but it doesn't seem like everyone has them. Which coincidentally is why this movie doesn't work. Neither as a western nor as a mad max movie .Gina was super great in haywire,but this..This is below her level. Oh GIna if you needed money that bad,why didn't you just pose for playboy.I',m sure they would have paid a lot more.
applecrunchvape I watched this film the other night and i must say i was surprised at just how much i enjoyed it. It came with a slow start but having watched it i understand why. It reminded me just how human nature would act and turn at a moments notice if one thought their demise would be at the cost of natures doing. absolutely worth a watch. Cage is our heroine in this flick and played well. There are some laughs along the way unexpectedly which gave a breath of fresh air to a dire situation our characters face in this "each for their own" flick. To me she was likable from the start and her doctor friend was equally good. Think the Walking Dead in the later series, just without zombies Thankyou for reading
