Chasseur de Primes

You're suppose to watch it for the hot wrestler who showed off her house on MTV Cribs and the action shots. I watched till the end so I guess it's watchable. I'm a female whose been watching these kinds of movies since I was five years old. The action shots were a 3/10 for me and the storyline was another 3/10. That's why I gave it a 6/10. There was a lot of swearing which would've been fine if I watched it at my home but I ended up watching it on Christmas Day at the relatives' place. But it was fun to watch while playing on the Playbook. I wish there was more details about each of the bounty hunters' history. The reason why I chose this movie was because I've been reading the Stephanie Plum Bounty Hunter series but there's nothing to compare between the stories.

I went into this movie to see Trish Stratus kick some major ass. That's exactly what you get here. I don't want to give anything away that would ruin this movie for others. I am a WWE fan so I had to see how she did in her film debut. I liked the jokes and the action throughout the movie. This was better than most action movies I have seen in a while. I like to watch an independent film every now and again because to be truthful most indie movies are better than most of the films that come out in theaters. I really enjoyed this movie and the characters. If you had put to many clichés into this movie than I wouldn't have liked it so much. That's why this movie works. Again, I will say see this movie see it for the action and Trish Stratus.

I think the director here actually did a much better job of letting Trish Stratus come across as herself than any of the WWF etcetera shows I've seen her in, and that definitely made it worth watching. (Of course, it was arguably/technically the Director's job to make her seem like a Bounty Hunter and not herself, but that's another story entirely...)

Long story, but I was fortunate enough to spend about about maybe an hour hanging out with and talking-one-on-one with Trish Stratus after she was hired by the WWF but before she actually started working with them. (Plus some time watching her interact with others.) She was definitely "my type" so I'll never forget that chance to get know her.

Watching this movie, well, the script is bad, there was a plot hole could taxi a 757 Jumbo Jet through, but in addition to watching one of Trish's partners do really funny routines (which is worth watching) we get to see Trish do some of her "MMA" stuff.

What I really liked about the movie though, and this is a bit hard to explain, is it looked and seemed like Trish. The actress, the weight-lifter and the athlete who has to do all those "MMA" moves on WWF and the like.

Again, it's hard to explain, but it just seem like the women I had talked to so long ago. Right there on my screen, doing MMA and reading out her lines in a B movie plot.

Ok... I take back the "hard to explain part" because I just figured it out... I think what I like is that the director of this film did a much better job of bringing out some of Trish's beyond-just-her-awesome-looks endearing qualities better than anyone directing any of the many wrestling show's I've seen her in. And now that I've figure that out, I'm going to copy that to the top of this review, and submit it to IMDB.

Seriously, she's really a great person to get know if for some whatever reason you ever get a chance to.

Oh... btw... there's a photoshoot video of Trish in "Divas: Postcard from the Caribbean".... worth checking out. To be 100% honest, I expected it to filled with B. S. made-up dialog about the girls, but even though they added some "spin" to Trish's background, there wasn't a single word there that contradicted anything she had told me about herself. :-)

And kicks and punches and does all kinds of stuff (no pun intended). If you consider the action element to be the most important thing of the movie, you will find this to your liking. Don't expect this to be on the same level as some eastern action movies (martial arts and all that), but it does a more than decent job on the stunts and action scenes. Even if some maybe do not make too much sense, if you actually thought about them.

So as someone would say, do not think about them. If it always was that easy, right? Anyway, Trish Stratus is only one of many people in this and I am almost sad to say she didn't do too many movies in her career. Yes she was bound to the WWE brand (or WWF as it was called back then), but I'd have loved to see her in more stuff like this. But at least we have this ... something we can cherish and love for what it is: a b-movie action thingy!

Any body that rents this movie, will not be looking for Oscar winning performances, clever plot twist, or a harrowing or moving narrative. - No, those that rent this movie want to see Trish Status looking hot and kicking butt, thats what the poster suggests and thats exactly what you get.

It would have to be noted though, that the acting and scripting in this movie are particularly below par (Classic B-Movie stuff here. The two male bounty hunters who accompany miss Stratus through the story, are certainly not in it to advertise their acting talents. One of which is supposed to provide a comic element, but only irritates throughout.

However the acting and the "plot" always feels irrelevant and second fiddle to the movies main agenda - which is to get Trish (ex wwe wrestler), looking fit and fighting fit - and its here where the film does deliver.

Stratus is also not looking for any acting Oscars here, but is looking to show off her fighting talents gained from her wrestling background. It has to be said, the fight sequences are decent, and Stratus does put a lot of energy in to them.

In summary not a good film by any means, but Trish does squeeze a guy unconscious with her thighs, which is probably why I give this film a generous 5 out of 10.
