OK, this is not what i hoped for favourite female fighter Gina Carano,
an absolute trash B movie
action, BUT after some very small parts in some stupid blockbuster action
films she at least plays
the main role here. Scorched Earth is not very good though, that is
the truth.
However, if you're a fan of trashy B movies and prefer watching such
garbage to watching any
Hollywood mainstream puke, this film will do.For all of us that thinks
life's too long and desperately
wants to destroy 90 minutes of our precious lifes by watching a crappy
B action.
But, HEY!, Gina is in it. OK, no decent MA or MMA type of fighting,
but there are a lot of violence
and stupid action to enjoy.
Yes, Gina deserves better and hopefully a great director (as Steven
Soderberg in Haywire) will give
her a meaty part again. Note March 2026: No, Nope, never happened
The DVD sleeve above has little to do with the actual
film as there are no burning skyscrapers,
collapsing motorways or helicopters. Scorched
Earth takes place after the apocalypse (maybe
depicted above) and plays out like a western movie with nods to the
spaghetti western.
After the catastrophe the air is polluted and dangerous to inhale, everything
is toxic and the human
survivors lives in small villages resembling those in western movies.
The currency is not money,
but silver used in air filters to breathing masks
"Without breathing masks, your lungs get blackened
in no time"
Apocalyptic Sky
Gina Carano plays the tough bounty hunter Attica Gage
and she collects when delivering
environmental outlaws dead or alive to the rudimental authority there
is. She's a killer though
and not much different from the bad guys, a noir-western type of heroine.
She works with the ex-bounty hunter Doc (John Hannah) and he tells her
about a town filled
with fossile lawbreakers, run by a Thomas Jackson (Ryan Robbles) who
plans to re-open a
silver mine and use kidnapped civilians as slave labour. Great plot
.... eeeh, no?
Can Gage infiltrate the bad guys disguised as one of
her bounties, the evil Chayo?
