Bounty Tracker (1993)

Fresh and Exciting

Beautiful, moving film.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Starring Lorenzo Lamas - king of the C-class action movies. The plot ? It's your typical " They killed his family member . They made a BIG MISTAKE. " run of the mill revenge movie. The villain is played by Matthias Hues who I remember from "I come in peace" (aka "Dark angel"). He can't act (just like Lamas) , but he certainly has the look to play the villain.All in all forgettable stuff. I found this movie in my local supermarket . It cost me 5$ . I regret having to pay for this trash. I give it 1/10. For action junkies only.

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.

Yeah, yeah I know this is not "Renegade", but still… it has such a strong resemblance to it. First of all, we have Lorenzo Lamas, the star of "Renegade", with his usual long hair, rugged looks, martial arts skills, not that solid acting skills and he is a bounty hunter. Well… the title of the film says "Bounty Tracker", just not to think that this has nothing to do with "Renegade". Well, it doesn't… but, it still has a big resemblance! What is the matter with you, people?! When you see most of these action, martial arts films, with Van Damme, Seagal, Lundgren and all others, they are just type casted for the sake of entertainment to play themselves over and over again. They just change their names, for example Lorenzo's name here is Johnathan Damone (the usual name for a action hero, you know – John, Jack, James, George, Casey, Bill, Jericho…), forget it, he is Vince Black, aka Reno Raines and shut up. The story is, of course… a revenge story , no more, no less, in "Renegade" Lamas is seeking justice, to clear his name, and also a vengeance, nothing far from this film, in "Renegade", they kill his girlfriend, here they kill his brother… so, we all know what happens next. This is just a usual action low budget film from the 90s, so turn of your brain and enjoy yourself. The only thing I like are the fight scenes, pretty well done. We also have some interesting players here, Matthias Hues for example, I think he is pretty good for playing villains in low budget films, he is tall, menacing and he has this evil looks, but no acting skills at all. But, always has this strange charisma, you just enjoy watching him as a villain. And we also have Cyndi Pass, ah, that little sexy, sexy from the 90s, damn… 90s were really hot. So, grab your chair, rent this film, if you really enjoy this kind of fun and watch it.

This is Matthias at his gorgeous best! If you like him in Black Belt, I come in Peace, even Kickboxer 2 (as brief as his appearance was), you'll love him in this one. He is as fit and looks as good as I've ever seen him.The plot is predictable, of course. We all know how what will happen in the end, but who cares!? You're in heaven every time Matthias is on the screen.His presence overtakes the movie. He should have had top billing instead of 2nd billing. Matthias is what makes the movie really worth watching, especially his 1st fight sequence! Rent, or buy this one. You'll want to watch it over and over again. I guarantee if you are not a Matthias fan before, you'll be one after. Catch it, and you'll keep on catching it! Over and over and over again.
