Turning its low budget into a self-mocking plus, this umpteenth 'Mad Max'-style dystopian actioner delivers trashy fun for genre fans.

Bounty Killer
Overview
It’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.

It's all utterly silly and derivative but also undeniably entertaining.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Watching this movie feels like viewing a very long, expensive car commercial and waiting for the real film to begin.
Miriam Bale, New York Times
Rotten
Intentionally cheap, silly and bloody from beginning to end, "Bounty Killer" is custom-made for those seeking out self-aware garbage. To those: enjoy! To all others: beware.
Tom Long, Detroit News

It isn't the worst thing to blow an hour and a half on a film where everyone - including supporting players Gary Busey, Beverly D'Angelo and Kristanna Loken - seems to be having a good time.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
