Disaster Zone

Gary Daniels (who is he?) is stunning as a martial arts kung fu/cowboy gunslinger/bounty hunter who becomes the hero saving the wife of his killed brother. The action - shootouts and fight scenes are incredible though not original. The acting sucks big time but that's not the point. This is one hell of a roller coaster ride. Enjoy.

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!

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 script for "Cold Harvest" is anything but inspired. We've seen the post-holocaust setting many times before, we've seen the same kind of creeps this movie has in other movies, and the dialogue is unexceptional. (And what does that title mean? It's never explained.) Other faults the movie has includes Gary Daniels. In this movie and in others of his I've seen, he simply can't act.

Still, there is still some pleasure to be found in the movie. Although this was clearly a very low budget movie, it's clear that the production team squeezed every penny out of their limited funds. The photography and lighting is very good. The movie does go by at a fairly brisk pace. And Bryan Genesse and Tony Caprari make amusing and colorful villains. But what's really good are the action sequences. I've seen other movies directed by Isaac Florentine, and I can tell you that he sure knows how to make exciting action sequences, including the ones in this movie. If you're a B movie fan, you'll probably find enough good stuff in this movie to make it worth your time.

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.
