Normally I'm one to enjoy a mindless action movie regardless of writing, acting or directorial style. These are generally good movies to watch as entertainment in the background. Last night I queued up "Fugitive Hunter." I was disappointed. This movie didn't succeed at anything. It was too flat to have any sort of compelling drama, the action was too badly-choreographed to get any adrenalin flowing, and the movie too itself too seriously to gain any significant "camp" value. The writing and directing were not only sub-par, they were almost laughably bad. Unfortunately they weren't so bad as to inspire actual laughter, but rather only a disbelieving sidelong stare. Maybe if it's 3AM and you can't sleep and this movie is on cable it might be worth tuning in for a few minutes, but I just can't recommend spending any money on this flick.

I'm not a big drama fan but this movie was good. Doubly so for something so low budget. Based on a true story this movie chronicles how two new bail bondsmen save their new boss and his company by uncovering corruption. It's done in a very realistic and believable way but not overly gritty a la NYPD Blue and others. And its got a healthy sense of humor. It never takes itself too seriously but doesn't make itself look silly either. The production values are low but the acting and writing are both very good. The directing could have been better but since this movie has a realistic tone to it anyway it isn't noticeable. The action sequences are decent. All in all you should watch this movie, you will not regret it.

Watched the film last night!I was very pleasantly surprised by this production. I found myself drawn in to the movie from the beginning and through to the end. I'm no fugitive, so I never knew about the 8th Amendment and the rights of bail law, or for that matter how the bail bonds agencies cope with bail jumpers. I realize that the movie was embellished from actual events, however I found the film to be very believable. I am especially impressed with the fact that the drama of the film was tempered by Keno's quirky comic relief. Hats off to this tremendous effort considering all the constraints of low budget productions. How often are we treated to an action drama with none of the "Hollywood" gratuities?The film-look fits the genre, grainy; low budget and dark, I thought the Director made a good call there.What's next!!

In reading all the comments posted about this film I get the sense that either people really like this or they really hate it. I really feel something like in the middle. A friend of mine bought rented this movie and made me watch it because he likes to watch direct to DVD action movies. I'm not to groovy with his taste in movies but when we watched it I felt like it was a decent movie. Looked cheap at times but I guess that's why I never heard of it before. I 'm not a critic but I know this movie wasn't great nor was it bad it was just... direct to DVD. The funky constitution talk was interesting since we Canadians generally laugh at all that talk. Kinda sad how the friend dies though but I saw it coming from the beginning though. Overall I give it a 6 or so because I didn't fall asleep as usually do I with my chum. Don't recall ever watching a movie that was that into bounty hunting.
