Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

DigitalRevenantX7 Johnny Damone, a bounty tracker from Boston, arrives in California to visit his brother Paul. But once he arrives, he finds a heavy police presence around Paul's house. Finally allowed in, Johnny discovers that Paul is the only surviving witness to a gangster's money laundering scheme & that his entire workplace of accountants have been massacred by an elite team of assassins. That night, the assassins, led by Erik Gauss, breach the house's police guard & kill Paul & his wife. Only Johnny survives. Determined to track down Gauss, he uses his skills at skip tracing to hunt down the assassins & bring them down.Bounty Tracker is an early-1990s B-grade action thriller from Image Organization, Canada's most prolific B-budget film studio. They have made everything from cheap actioners to the Scanners sequels.Bounty Tracker is an unexceptional film in almost all areas. It is filled with hand-to-hand fights to shootouts. The plot is basically a revenge story & has Lorenzo Lamas, who has starred in many cheap B-films during the 1990s & beyond (& even dabbled in some of the Asylum's works) do his best to track down & defeat Matthias Hues' deadly assassin. On the action side, the film has plenty of reasonable scenes but doesn't do much to elevate itself above the tide of similar films that came out at the time. The closest the plot gets to being original is when Lamas & his young hood friends track the gangster's car by stowing somebody inside the trunk.Lorenzo Lamas does a pretty decent job of a bounty tracker (basically another name for a bounty hunter) who takes on a team of assassins in order to get revenge for his brother's death. Matthias Hues, an actor who has played villains in everything from DROID GUNNER to DARK ANGEL, does his usual brutal manner but the film is too average to become a real minor world-beater.

Comeuppance Reviews Johnny Damone (Lamas), not to be confused with Johnny Ramone, is a Boston-based Bounty Tracker who always gets his man. When his brother Paul (Paul Regina) has to be sequestered so he can testify against Bernie Madoff-like white collar criminal Sarazin (Glazer), a team of ruthless assassins, who have no problem killing anyone in their path, led by the super-evil Erik Gauss (Hues), tries to find him and kill him. Johnny travels to L.A. to take down Gauss, his hardest collar yet. Helping him on his journey are a trio of homies from the 'hood who also want Gauss for their own reasons. Inevitably, it leads to the final showdown between Johnny and his boys, and Gauss and his gang. Who will prevail? Bounty Tracker is a total winner. It delivers everything you want in a DTV movie from this time and place. It has all the traits that make a movie like this successful. It's always pleasing when filmmakers actually "get it" because so many out there do not. This movie is pure 90's-action-movie fun and if you're a fan of that (and why wouldn't you be?), there is a lot to love about Bounty Tracker.This truly is Lorenzo Lamas at his absolute best. As the movie kicks off (no pun intended), we see his range as he plays a faux-upper-crust, bowtied nerd. Of course he still has his trademark beard stubble and ponytail. Lamas has a lot of charm, and, in true action-movie style, is always ready with a glib remark. Naturally, Johnny Damone is your classic "ex-Marine, ex-cop, with a black belt in Aikido", who now is a Bounty Tracker, not to be confused with a Bounty Hunter, or even a "Skip Tracer". It's confusing but Reno Raines is a Bounty Hunter. Johnny Damone is a Bounty Tracker. It's hard to keep it all straight. His superiors even call him a "Karate Cowboy", whatever that means, but it might make a great movie in its own right. His fight scenes are highly enjoyable, like the rest of this movie.Fellow fan favorite Matthias Hues once again plays the villain. To see Lamas and Hues face off is truly a DTV dream come true. It's a good, solid role for Hues, who so often is relegated to the background. Here, along with Lamas, he gets his name top-billed above the title. Ah, the golden age. Can you believe there was a time when a top-billed Matthias Hues was an actual THING? It seems hard to believe now in our cynical era. But here's the proof. His female counterpart in the movie, Jewels, is played by Cyndi Pass, who also appeared in Deadly Reckoning (1998), as well as Mission of Justice (1992), which was produced by Bounty Tracker director Kurt Anderson. Anderson also directed Martial Law II (1992) and produced the first Martial Law (1991). So you see the general spirit of what's going on here.We actually liked the homies that Damone teams up with. Sure, many punks and/or homies in these movies can be unnecessary or annoying, just look at Esteban Powell from Hit-man's Run (1999). But, the thing is, you have to take these things on a homie-by-homie basis. You can't just throw the homie out with the bathwater. You have to take the proceedings in the spirit of the time. They just want to turn their lives around and help out Damone. You can't fault them for that. Even Damone can use a little help against someone as evil as Erik Gauss. Plus you can tell he's evil because his name is Erik Gauss.Bounty Tracker is never boring and hits all the right notes. It's a pleasure to watch. There should be more like this.For more action insanity, drop by: www.comeuppancereviews.com

sveknu A movie with both Lorenzo Lamas and Mathias Hues sounded really interesting. And I wasn't disappointed. Hues plays the bad guy as he always does, but this time he's on top instead of second in command. Lamas is of course the hero. Although the movie contains one long and very entertaining fight scene, it's not a typical martial arts movie. Hues, for example, doesn't fight a lot, and he doesn't show us that much of his skills when he does. So don't get fooled by the video-cover, where it looks like some kind of arena-fighting movie. Despite of this, the movie is good. A normal (but fitting, as always) vengeance-plot with some cool scenes makes this more than OK.

yatahaeshadai Lorenzo Lamas plays a long haired bounty hunter. Sound familiar? (Renegade) Well that's where the similarity ends. His rich brother is dead and he is on the trail of his killers in his brothers porsche. He hooks up with three home boys out to avenge the death of their mentor. Together they kick ass. There is a major martial arts scene where he takes on the whole dojo only to find the master waiting to do him in. Between barbs he catches his breath before taking on the master. It has got to be the longest stretch of karate footage in any of his movies(5 min.)and he shines. As he picks up a pole he gives out a deep "kiya" but doesn't get hurt till they turn to swords. This only gets you ready for a rough action scene at the end with Mathias Hues. The actions great. The double meanings come at you so fast you have to watch it a dozen times to make sure you got them all. And you'll enjoy it more each time you do!
