Bounty Hunters

Watchable yet highly forgettable Dudikoff film, in this one he's a bounty hunter who teams with rival bounty hunter, B.B., to protect an informant from the mob. Dudikoff's action sequences are perfectly fine if underwhelming, but Lisa Howard who play BB is laughably bad in hers. The chemistry between the two is passable though. Meanwhile a neighborhood kid only exists to be leverage against Dudikoff's character. In a somewhat related gripe, seeing Michael in a backwards hat is just wrong. It's a shame because the opening of the film lulled me into thinking that this direct to video flick would be better than it turned out being.

Give me some money. I'll write this thing, direct it, and shoot it ALL NEXT WEEK.

"Action movie"? Where?? Not in this box. Without the little *WHACK* and SLAP noises whenever somebody gets hit, there's really no way to tell what's a hit and what's a miss. And did you know? If you point a gun at somebody, and just kinda kills whatever's over there, unless it's your friend. The gun knows, man. Yeah yeah yeah. WHAT?

Oh, wait, wait, maybe it's a comedy! Nope, it's just random.

The script sucks. Character history? Nah, who needs it. Costs too much, anyway. The plot makes no sense. The actors did uhh, an ok job, I guess. They must've had contracts or something, that they couldn't break. I don't know how they maintained a character through the gauntlet of this script. The directing must've been really good, for them to have any chance. But wait? Same guy wrote it and directed it? Wow, ok, the actors are pretty good, I guess.

Man... Wow. This surpasses even Deep Blue Sea, in how much it sucks.

Oh, I guess the wardrobe is nice, though it doesn't fit the reality that the script completely failed to mimic. But it isn't really aesthetically pleasing as a whole.

It, like the rest of this movie, is like a puzzle put together with a five-pound sledge hammer.

And I guess the actors were all, uh, aesthetically pleasing too, unless they were supposed to be stupid. Then they weren't. Because, you know, when you're dumb, you get ugly. That's just how nature works. There are little cells that get killed by neurons firing, called ugly cells. So it's TRUE! The dumber you are, the uglier you get! Ha! I learned something from this movie! And wait! I just lost 5 pounds!

Ahhhhhh... Do NOT see this movie.

I saw this movie yesterday on Netflix and here are my full thoughts on this movie. It's bland & forgettable, it wasn't that great. The pacing is too slow, the acting is bad, the fight scenes are dull & uninspired, but the story is okay though, it makes sense at some places and Michael Dudikoff's character Jersey Bellini wasn't half bad, but even he wasn't enough to save this movie. So in the end of the day, if you got nothing else better to do, then I would recommend watching this movie, just to see how bland this movie really is, but otherwise, I wouldn't waste my time with this movie. I notice that the producers of this movie made a sequel a year later after this, so I may check it out sometime to see if they learn from their mistakes & improved them. 4 out of 10 for me (poor/mediocre).

Rated R for violence, some coarse language, and brief nudity.

BOUNTY HUNTERS isn't among my favorite Dudikoff movies, but I wouldn't place it among my least-favorites one either. It's sort of in-between, as I have stuff I like and dislike about it. The pacing is pretty bad, and a lot of parts just seem to drag. Dudikoff and Lisa Howard make a good team, but since in this movie they're paired together for the first time, their characters argue and bicker a lot, and it actually gets a little tiresome after awhile. They're better in the sequel, HARDBALL (also known as BOUNTY HUNTERS 2: HARDBALL). The two accidently get involved with a mobster when they come across a kidnapped woman during one of their busts. The main bad guy is quite lame, and Freddy Andreiuci as Izzy is really annoying, though I like how Dudikoff handles him during the chop shop sequence. The film's strongest asset is it's humor, which is even better in the second movie. Dudikoff working on his home security system, visiting a porno movie shoot looking for someone, and trying to fit in at an all-black night club are very funny moments. But it's just not enough to help sustain the film's bad points, of which there are just enough to make me watch this one less than the sequel.

Bounty Hunters. Let's see now.. I've seen this not long ago.. The story is all about Jersey Bellini (DUDIKOFF) a bounty hunter who knows what he does best.. Bring in the bad guys..

He teams up with female partner to go after some drug dealers.. Easier said than done especially if somebody puts out a contract on Bellini..

Well thinking about it, it's a good film. Sloppy script though. Even a four year old could write this..

Michael Dudikoff proves he is an action star but it's just a matter of time before someone gives him a real decent script.
