    The movie is pretty stupid in a lot of ways. But in a multiplex world of grim action thrillers with dark heroes, it isn't the worst thing to blow an hour and a half on a film where everyone - including supporting players Gary Busey, Beverly D'Angelo and Kristanna Loken - seems to be having a good time.

    It’s all utterly silly and derivative but also undeniably entertaining.

    Bounty Killer feels like the adaptation of a video game that doesn't exist.

    Are you consumed by an overwhelming desire to fork over the price of a movie ticket in order to see the kind of meagerly funded nonsense that the SyFy network provides for the price of a basic cable package? If the answer is yes, then Bounty Killer is right up your alley.

    It's a film that plays equally to both sides of the political spectrum, and it feels like pandering either way.

    The film’s lack of seriousness isn’t the problem; rather, it’s that its jokey carnage is all caricatured poses devoid of original verve or legitimate wit.

    Watching this movie feels like viewing a very long, expensive car commercial and waiting for the real film to begin.
