Review of Bounty

Bounty (I) (2009)
1/10
Bad acting, bad writing, bad taste in my mouth
2 December 2009
After reading the other comments about this film, I couldn't help but write something. I'll have to admit that I didn't notice the power lines, modern fences, and satellite dish at first. I don't watch the scenes that closely. Those who said the actors did a good job, however... what are you smoking!?! First of all, they didn't have much to work with, because the script was horrible - way too wordy. Other than that, Steve Savage and Bruce Isham (who is probably the writer/director's dad) couldn't act worth a penny. Both overacted worse than you could imagine. The only possible reasons anyone would say that the acting was good is either because Jarret LeMaster didn't overact like the others or they thought Michelle Acuna was hot. The only reason I rented this was because I had just watched another independent western, "Shadowheart," which was pretty good. Of course, it's hard to find a western as good as The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, etc... As an avid fan of westerns, though, I am always open to a good indie, and this one definitely fails.
