Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I have seen some bad movies, but the best thing I can say for this movie is that it is not the worst I have seen. I wasn't sure if it was the writer's or the director's fault, but since Jared Isham gets both credits, I can blame it on him. The same problem goes on throughout this movie over and over. Bad guy has gun. Good guy has chance to take gun or takes gun. Good guy basically gives the gun back. I can say that I have never seen a movie squash the suspension of disbelief so many times. Watching this was painful to say the least.

After reading the other comments about this film, I couldn't help but write something. I'll have to admit that I didn't notice the power lines, modern fences, and satellite dish at first. I don't watch the scenes that closely. Those who said the actors did a good job, however... what are you smoking!?! First of all, they didn't have much to work with, because the script was horrible - way too wordy. Other than that, Steve Savage and Bruce Isham (who is probably the writer/director's dad) couldn't act worth a penny. Both overacted worse than you could imagine. The only possible reasons anyone would say that the acting was good is either because Jarret LeMaster didn't overact like the others or they thought Michelle Acuna was hot. The only reason I rented this was because I had just watched another independent western, "Shadowheart," which was pretty good. Of course, it's hard to find a western as good as The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, etc... As an avid fan of westerns, though, I am always open to a good indie, and this one definitely fails.

I am not a huge fan of Westerns, but this was suggested by a friend. I had never even seen an independent film in the western genre before so I was interested. It was actually pretty good. It has all the good stuff - horses, shooting, love, and cowboys. The story was good and I think for a non studio release of a western it was great. I hope Stage Ham comes out with another. I don't want to give too much of the story away (and I didn't click the spoiler alert) for that reason. I didn't want people to skip over this comment because they didn't want to have the ending spoiled. The acting was great, and the production value was very good. It had the feel of a traditional western and it was a good first try. I highly recommend seeing this film. It is worth it... AND it supports the smaller filmmakers. I can't wait to read YOUR comments after you view it.

I ordered Bounty on DVD thru a recommendation. Overall I think it was a good movie. I love watching up and coming talent and new directors. For an independent feature, it shows great strength, spirit & a fine workmanship. It is definitely worth watching.As for what the other person remarked on; I did notice a couple snags as with many movies, but rarely and only for a brief moment. The girls plot line could have been a little better. However, as in many westerns the action was what caught my attention.It was very noticeable that a lot of attention was paid to the action, gore, horse riding and gun fighting scenes. That were very well done.Overall I would recommend Bounty to people, especially those who would love a good western.
