Head Hunter

Starring Lorenzo Lamas - king of the C-class action movies. The plot ? It's your typical " They killed his family member . They made a BIG MISTAKE. " run of the mill revenge movie. The villain is played by Matthias Hues who I remember from "I come in peace" (aka "Dark angel"). He can't act (just like Lamas) , but he certainly has the look to play the villain.

All in all forgettable stuff. I found this movie in my local supermarket . It cost me 5$ . I regret having to pay for this trash.

I give it 1/10. For action junkies only.

This is Matthias at his gorgeous best! If you like him in Black Belt, I come in Peace, even Kickboxer 2 (as brief as his appearance was), you'll love him in this one. He is as fit and looks as good as I've ever seen him.

The plot is predictable, of course. We all know how what will happen in the end, but who cares!? You're in heaven every time Matthias is on the screen.

His presence overtakes the movie. He should have had top billing instead of 2nd billing. Matthias is what makes the movie really worth watching, especially his 1st fight sequence! Rent, or buy this one. You'll want to watch it over and over again. I guarantee if you are not a Matthias fan before, you'll be one after. Catch it, and you'll keep on catching it! Over and over and over again.

I wanted to hate "Bounty Tracker". After all, in the other Lorenzo Lamas films I've seen he has a narrower emotional range than a tomato. But, surprisingly, for what it was it was actually pretty decent. Of course, you need to be willing to tolerate watching a very violent film!

When the story begins, a team of evil mercenaries walks into a tax consulting office and kill everyone in sight...with no dialog, no mercy...just shooting them all. One, however, escapes and soon the killers track down Paul Damone and they kill him and his wife. His brother, Jonathan (Lorenzo Lamas) tries to stop them, but he's too late. What the murderers do not realize is that Jonathan is both a bounty hunter (I am not sure why they only use the term 'bounty tracker') and he's an unstoppable killing machine when provoked.

Jonathan spends the rest of the movie following leads and tracking down leads until the ultimate boss battle at the end. A good addition to this are some young gang members who later team up with him. While Lamas STILL has little emotional range, these young guys were kind of cute and enjoyable and gave the film some needed emotion.

Overall, I was shocked that I enjoyed such a violent film. Part was, of course, the gang members and part was that Lamas' martial arts/fighting skills looked amazing. I never realized he was so accomplished. A decent time-passer.

By the way, I was torn between a 5 and 6....and opted for 5 because when the film began, Lamas was trying to speak with a British accent....and it was unintentionally funny.

Lorenzo Lamas plays a long haired bounty hunter. Sound familiar? (Renegade) Well that's where the similarity ends. His rich brother is dead and he is on the trail of his killers in his brothers porsche. He hooks up with three home boys out to avenge the death of their mentor. Together they kick ass. There is a major martial arts scene where he takes on the whole dojo only to find the master waiting to do him in. Between barbs he catches his breath before taking on the master. It has got to be the longest stretch of karate footage in any of his movies(5 min.)and he shines. As he picks up a pole he gives out a deep "kiya" but doesn't get hurt till they turn to swords. This only gets you ready for a rough action scene at the end with Mathias Hues. The actions great. The double meanings come at you so fast you have to watch it a dozen times to make sure you got them all. And you'll enjoy it more each time you do!

Rent this one if you want to see Lorenzo Llamas kick some serious butt. Plot is a throwaway, natch, with dialogue to match. But Kurt Andersen is an action director to watch, and he serves up some great fight scenes, including a sequence in a dojo that has to be seen to be believed.
