The story: After corporate greed has left the world a giant wasteland, white collar crimes get a death penalty. Bounty Killers are the people who go after them and are celebrities with fans. The story follows Drifter (Matthew Marsden) and Mary Death (Christian Pitre) as a bounty is placed on Drifter and they team up (after she goes after him for the bounty) have to evade killers and gypsies to track down the council to find out what is going on.
Was it good?
It was entertaining for a bit. The strange mix of desolation and celebrity was interesting, and this is certainly a movie that tries to do a lot more than most low budget films. The co-star Christian Pitre is beautiful and energetic. This is a movie that just wants to be a B-movie, almost more homage than
real film. Where as other movies like DEATH RACE 2000 and MAD MAX used the concept to delve into something more, this is just all superficial fun. Unfortunately, like most movies that are 70% recycling, the humor isn't funny, the characters are cardboard, the plot doesn't make sense and ultimately the movie feels like a pretty empty thing.
Still, Considering the title and cover, you get the feeling the renters will know what they are getting, and while it doesn't have enough to it to make it a cult classic, it has enough for people who like action, sexy women, and ridiculous sci-fi a watch.
