Hellmant 'SCORCHED EARTH': Three Stars (Out of Five)A post-apocalyptic sci-fi western, starring Gina Carano as a bounty hunter who hunts down criminals in a climate change ravaged Earth. The movie also costars John Hannah, Ryan Robbins, Dean S. Jagger, Stephanie Bennett, Patrick Sabongui and Patrick Gilmore. It was directed by Peter Howitt, and it was written by Kevin Leeson and Bobby Mort. The film is now available for rent on video and VOD, and I found it to be mildly entertaining. In a future world, mostly destroyed by climate change, the two most valuable commodities are water purifiers and silver (used in breathing masks to survive the polluted air). Driving vehicles is outlawed, and Gage (Carano) works as a bounty hunter that rounds up criminals who break this law (as well as others). Her current target is Thomas Jackson (Robbins), an outlaw who's building a town to protect other criminals like himself. She gets into a lot of trouble, of course, trying to bring him to justice alone. Her friend Doc (Hannah) comes to her aid, and the streets quickly turn to blood.The movie has a great setup, and plot in my opinion. Carano is also an awesome action heroine lead, or at least she can be (like in 2011's 'HAYWIRE'). The film doesn't have a lot of good payoff though, and most of it is pretty dull actually. It's mildly entertaining throughout, but it seems like there was a lot of potential to do so much more with this film. So it's hard to argue that it's not a disappointment, in the very least.

Edwin Please start to create the minus -10 . Low cheap budget movie, no actors, dialogue by force, no production, no director, this is a cheap low budget movie made by a bunch of neighbors in California, no story no history, nothing, no FX nothing, really terrible movie no waste your time download this horrible terrible movie. For sure the good comments are the families and neighbors of the kids and the poor producer and director. This people and his director must be ban to produce or make another domestic VHS home movie.No real story, bad acting. Waste of time

collinsburns57 Watchable, giving the plots partly similar to both Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" and "Pale Rider" with a bit of Mad Maxish's enemy wasteland cars. Though none of the editing scene to scene were irritating throughout. The actors are average but not imposing enough with the exception of Gina's acting, she is certainly suited for more kick-ass heroine roles in movieland.
