Bounty Killer
September. 06,2013 RIt’s been 20 years since the corporations took over the world’s governments. Their thirst for power and profits led to the Corporate Wars, a fierce global battle that laid waste to society as we know it. Born from the ash, the Council of Nine rose as a new law and order for this dark age. To avenge the corporations’ reckless destruction, the Council issues death warrants for all white collar criminals. Their hunters—the bounty killer. From amateur savage to graceful assassin, the bounty killers now compete for body count, fame and a fat stack of cash. They’re ending the plague of corporate greed and providing the survivors of the apocalypse with retribution. These are the new heroes. This is the age of the BOUNTY KILLER.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
. . . since most of the targets in BOUNTY KILLER are Fat Cat One Per Centers, just like the ones that have created our current Real Life situation in which America suffers from the greatest income disparity ever, exceeding that of the Great Depression. Even though the Rich People's Party has not held the position of Supreme Court Appointer for 16 of the past 24 years, they've gamed the System to retain an Easily-Bribable Fat Cat Toadies Majority on this Court, which appointed the Popular Vote LOSER of the 2000 Election into the White House by transporting 8,237 corrupt lawyers into Florida--including one Ted Cruz! Obviously, all of these Anti-People outrages have provoked Lethal Real Life Rage. (And, as this week's Panama Papers leak documents, Nevada and Wyoming specialize incorporating companies WITHOUT A SINGLE PERSON involved--about as anti-People as you can get!) Therefore, BOUNTY KILLER gives the viewer a taste of America's Future, under President Sanders. It may not look pretty, but not even Cruz will be able to argue that the Fat Cats don't have it coming!
I found this movie very enjoyable to watch, Granted it's full of gore, but the gore is comical and I did not find it offensive and in many instances it was quite funny.The story is different from other post-apocalyptic movies I have seen and it was a much better movie than the latest Mad max thing which tried to be serious and failed miserably to be mildly interesting.I am still waiting for a Bounty Killer III. Unfortunately too many people took it too seriously and gave it a poor review.The acting was a little cheesy - just right for the type of movie it is in my opinion. I really liked Christian Pitre in the role (both in looks and how she acts the part.
Just caught the film Bounty Killer on Netflix last night. It's WONDERFUL. It's a violent exploitation flick set in the near future where corporate power has so far outstripped government power that the corporations have actually started warring with each other and turned much of America into a wasteland. This leads to an nascent government called the Council of 9 to arise. The Council of 9 starts issuing Death Warrants with considerable rewards on various corporate heads, and a class of bounty hunters arise to collect those rewards, becoming folk heroes in the process as they drive the mangled corpses of One Percenters to their ragtag villages to collect their rewards.The basic appeal of this film is seeing One percenter corporate honchos and their minions getting shotgun-blasted, stabbed, and machine-gunned by regular guys. It delivers a fair amount of that. Of course, the corporate types fight back, there's your conflict, and it's all great fun if you don't think about it seriously for more than a nanosecond.The film has two major flaws. One, the filmmaker is obvious deeply enamored of Mad Max and set much of his film in the California desert with various oddly-dressed sorts riding around at high speed on motorcycles, cars and Winnebagos and stabbing and shooting each other. There's also a bunch of degenerate, cannibalistic wasteland dwellers called "gypsies" who do violent things a lot because they're just violent people, who are in my opinion a complete waste, as they contribute nothing to the main theme of regular guys vs. evil corporate scumbags.The other major flaw is that the Mad Max imitation just makes the film look cheap. So many bad Roger Corman flicks have been set in run down shacks in the California deserts cause it's cheap that any film that imitates Mad Max just looks like another Roger Corman cheapie.If the film had focused more sharply on its central theme of corporate scumbags vs. heavily armed regular folks, it would have been much, much better, but the Mad Max imitation stuff just kinda kidnaps the movie and waters down its central theme.Still, there are several extended scenes of regular guys in stylish desert leathers invading corporate cubicle farms and shooting and stabbing and beating up on One Percenters in three piece suits ... something so SATISFYING about seeing a Wall Street type get a shotgun to the face ... mmmmm. I know it's revenge porn, but it's the only kind of revenge we seem to be able to get nowadays. Enjoy!
If you like your low budget action movies, spiced with Science Fiction, Western and one super hot leading lady, you could do worse than this. This dystopia of a future this is set in, might drag Mad Max comparisons with it, but this is a different beast. But a very enjoyable one, if you are in the mood for it.It's also not for the faint of hearted. Very graphic scenes (of violence, just one scene that involves nudity) will either appeal to you or be appalling, depending on your taste. This being independent they had some freedom (apparently) and they used it. Republicans might feel this movie does demonize capitalism and people with money, but reading too much into the movie would be a bad thing ... Just enjoy it for what it is
