Watchable, somewhat funny flick
gbozoki23 October 2017
There are some funny moments and the premise is funny. Some of the acting is very amateurish and the editing isn't great. The story cannot be much simpler.

I guess it's OK to have it in the background while you're doing some work - it's watchable with some laughs but nothing to write home about.

This is a Real Case!
nogodnomasters2 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Boone (John Hennigan) is a hot dog TV bounty hunter going after guys like Kevin Sorbo for a parking ticket. His ratings plummet as the audience actually grows tired of his staged antics. With one last show left in the season, Boone calls in a favor from the DEA, and decides to do some real bounty hunting, going to Vallecitos, Mexico to retrieve the son of a drug lord who skipped bail. The town and its police force are owned by the drug lord.

This is an action film for tweens and young teens. It has cleavage, a cat fight, and a tipped port-o-let with someone in it...all the things an 11 year old male would love. The plot is straight forward without twists. People get killed and beat up, but most of that kind of violence takes place off camera. Hennigan's style of fighting is similar to parkour antics, again something for the kids. Mindless action and fun.

No swearing, sex, or nudity. Full women in small bikinis.

OK for a rainy day.
brentstansfield8 June 2017
This certainly wasn't the worst action movie I've ever seen. The editing leaves a bit to be desired as I think most of the good stuff was left on the cutting room floor. As to the films star, I think he would have been a better Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise. At least as far as looks and build go. If you have a couple of hours to kill, and a good imagination, this is the flick for you.

Reviews cannot be from audience members
NicholasMCG2 August 2017
Come on, what is happening here. Did these reviewers actually see the movie or did they just work on it? I don't buy that this movie which is cheesy with people I have never ever seen or heard of could have a higher rating than The Goonies or E.T. I mean are we really buying that? Don't waste your time or money on this. It is not watchable.

Who is the audience?
Nconiendo28 May 2017
I am so confused at the high rating for this movie. It was liked by viewers who liked some other movies I had watched this year and loved and looked like it was fun. But it's poster is probably the nicest thing about it. The only thing I can fathom is that a lot of people who worked on it and their families or friends must have been giving it a lot of stars because I really don't think I missed anything. The acting felt like the first take each time and they took themselves too seriously for a low budget. Did they have fun making it? Probably, so that's nice I guess. But as far as independent movies I would not recommend this one and there are hundreds of other new ones out this year that are better to explore. Keep looking.

Run away
belmskov14 May 2017
Close to be the worst movie of the century. Bad acting, bad story, amateurism flourishes in this movie. You keep on watching as you hope the start was not an accurate representation of the whole film, but it only gets worse. The main role played by an "I know all" type of overpumped excuse of an actor, so awful it makes you puke....... If you finish this movie , you oughta have your head examined..........

Surprisingly Good Budget-Action Flick
arnuld-mizong24 January 2018
I do not write many reviews. First, I only write if the movie is very very good and 2nd, if people are unnecessarily bashing a good movie. I decided to write this review because of 2nd reason.

It is a Budget-Action flick, just like those old Steven Seagal or Van Damme movies. I like those. Only thing is budget is much lesser and acting is bit amateurish. Just expect these 2 and you will enjoy the movie. It is kind of original, fun and entertaining. I never felt bored or felt liked dragged on. Put it on if you got some time to kill on a Sunday afternoon.

Not for Everybody
unkel_andee1 April 2018
If you are looking for a great action movie with brilliant writing,Oscar worthy Acting and unbelievable stunts. Keep looking. If however you want a fun little movie that feels like it could have been made in the 80's on a shoestring budget you might want to give this movie a shot. I liked it more than I thought I would,maybe because I was expecting it to be awful. Not quite a So bad it's good movie it has some funny moments and an interesting fighting style on the part of the lead character. Are the fight scenes on a par with Jason Bourne or the Matrix,not even close. If you like "camp" or tongue in cheek type movies maybe give it a try.

Fun and actions-packed movies
thachphamvu11 May 2017
If you like somewhat cool action movies, this is the one for you. Not bad at all from a low cost action movies. John Hennigan aka Johnny Mundo is back with some unbelievable parkour action. All the actions look real and the slow-mo was top! To be honest, the conversations are sometimes cliché but there are a lot of funny lines from this movies that it's worth forgetting the minor flaws. The plot is also good. Fun film considering the budget! Recommended!

Get BOONED today!!
DrSeamus14 May 2018
I loved this movie! I have an unhealthy obsession with movies starring Pro Wrestlers and I always go in not expecting much in return. This movie however did not disappoint me at all. John's charisma, delivery of the one-liners and athletic display in this movie were outstanding. Definitely want a Boone 2!

A bad tv movie
aleenator24 January 2018
Production quality is good and the stunts are ok but the story is bad and the dialogue is cringe-worthy throughout.

How can sarris007 even begin to compare with Kingsman?!
pgkl23 January 2018
I given 2 stars because of 1 funny line, already mentioned in sarris007 review about 'wheres the stairs' The rest of the film though is complete drivel, corny beyond belief, poorly acted and some dreadful props (look out for the fake pig if you decided to watch)

You wonder...
hansi55520 January 2018
...how it could even get ONE star - I guess O stars are not possible. There should be some kind of "neutral" committee judging if a B-movie like this can get a 7. something rating.

I loath it when people say worse ever
carsonferguson2 April 2018
Quit wasting time saying worst movie ever. Really? Ugh... That being said, you will watch this one and say, "I've seen that person before" on every single character except the main player. Could have had a better budget and more takes. This one seemed to run on "take one" on every scene. Not the best movie, but really guys? Worst ever? Shut up!

Not a complete travesty, but is definitely not recomended
Wizard-824 March 2018
Making an action movie takes some skill, and making a comedy takes some skill as well. However, when you are making a movie that is half action and half comedy, you really need a great deal of skill. The two genres are really different from each other, and you need a lot of care to successful mix them together. It has happened successfully in the past several times, but "Boone: The Bounty Hunter" is not one of those examples. It doesn't work in practically any way you can think of, but I think its worst offence is its kind of comedy. Apart from two or three mildly amusing moments, the movie is not only unfunny, it is way too jokey. The characters as a result come across as dimwits and lack any warmth that may win them the audience's favor. The action is a few notches better (there is occasionally some impressive stunt work, for one thing), but it is often directed and edited in a way that makes it particularly hard to follow and get excited about. The bad editing also extends to the main narrative; there are a few noticeable plot holes, as if linking footage or simple explanation was never shot in the first place. The icing on the cake are some often really rock bottom production values. Quite often the movie looks like it was shot in someone's backyard or in abandoned lots near the filmmakers' homes. Come to think about it, the look and feel of the entire enterprise at times strongly resembles someone's home movie. Why pay money to see this when your teenage son can shoot something like this for free?

Lame-brained indie spoof
Leofwine_draca17 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
BOONE: THE BOUNTY HUNTER is a very low budget indie spoof of the TV show hit DOG: THE BOUNTY HUNTER. It's about a low rent TV hero who is all muscle but no brain who lands him into trouble when he crosses a ruthless drug lord. The resources are better than most indies resulting in a slicker production but this is still derivative, unfunny, and poorly paced. The most surprising thing about it is just how many down-on-their-luck celebrities take part. Kevin Sorbo has an amusing cameo at the outset, then we're treated to a muscular Jonathan Lipnicki (the kid from STUART LITTLE, no less), plus KINDERGARTEN COP's Richard Tyler, B-movie stalwart Lorenzo Lamas, Corbin Bernsen, Erika Eleniak, Dominique Swain, and even Capoeira fighter Lateef Crowder.

Good watch and time pass.
cooldudestefan199021 January 2018
It's a bit corny but it only shows the spirit of the movie. I don't understand why people are hating, given the budget it is pretty neat and the action sequences are also quite good. Many people don't understand but the Boone character is supposed to be over-the-top and flashy, he only gets serious sometimes but it wasn't a serious looking movie to begin with, it is for fun and time pass and it does it well enough. You want a serious movie??Go watch Shutter Island or smthng.

Someone must have paid some "rating farm" to up-vote this movie
brouer-8774815 February 2018
The best about this movie is the poor martial arts, it never comes as a surprise, and even though it's very slow, the opponents somehow doesn't find time to react (allthough they really could). All the audience gets, is a feel of someone capeable to do pretty slow martial arts. The acting is really bad and does not have a natural flow to put it mildly. I have seen worse movies than this, but they're not from this decade and like the worst of the worst, and they wouldn't even get a star. All in all this is not at all worth watching unless you'r a bad amateur filmmaker that want's to see a really bad end-result.

plain awful
toby-legrand4 March 2018
How in the hell did this get as high a score as it has at the moment. The acting is terrible and I can't handle the poor sound/camerawork. Someone give me a medal for making it to 15:42 please! This sucks big floppy donkey****

Don't do it.
kennycampbell-0300118 March 2018
The effort it must have taken to make a movie this bad is incredible. I would recommend "Cats Being Scared By Cucumbers" on Youtube as a more intelligent alternative.

Utter garbage
blackdogwhitewolf25 March 2018
Osric Chau needs to go back to Supernatural - no one ever stays dead forever there, and he would actually have something good to act in! He's too good for a POS like this, IMO. This movie....I knew 2 mins after hubby put it on it was crap. Wish I could give zero stars.
