Just stumbled upon this film and decided to give it a watch. I would say it is one of those films that is almost good, but just falls short. That being said it was a fun watch and not boring, but just a bit to unrealistic in areas and inconsistent. Lorenzo Lamas is the star of this film, never really saw him in anything else as I never watched the show renegade where he is a bounty hunter I believe. Here he is a bounty tracker and despite what you may think, they are like completely different!
The story has our hero beat up some people in a bar wearing glasses for reasons I am unsure of. He displays his butt kicking ability before taking a trip to Los Angeles where he is going to stay with his brother who, unfortunately, is a target for an elite group of mercenaries or something. Soon, the brother is killed as is his wife so bounty tracker is going after the men who were hired by some dude in prison to like, kill everyone. Of course, bounty tracker can kill too and outfight a class of warriors with swords, but has trouble with dudes in bars with beer bottles, but that is okay, some kids bounty tracker will put in constant danger are going to lend a hand!
The film had its moments of action and strange inconsistencies as one minute Lorenzo has no problem fighting off martial artists with weapons, but then gets nearly done in by random bar dudes. You will watch as the mercenaries do their job and then turn on the guy who hired them. Seriously, not a good business model if you are thugs for hire. Gee, I need someone to do a job for me, whoa, not those guys, they kill ya!
So one of those films you watch and just enjoy the action and make fun of the total randomness of it all. I for the life of me cannot see someone able to go around killing cops in L.A. being able to stay hidden and not be totally taken out quickly, but hey, it's a movie. Just not a very good one in terms of plot and stuff, but it is good where roundhouse kicks are concerned!
