Fugitive Hunter is one of those movies where I won’t recommend you watch it, but I will say that it’s a lot better than I expected it to be.

The main problem that I had with Fugitive Hunter (aside from its loose story that’s only half-interesting) was that it assumes the audience knows about bounty hunter legislation as it relates to the Eighth Amendment. What the filmmakers failed to realize is that while most people can probably detail what the first and second amendment say, as you go farther down the list knowledge becomes less and less likely. Considering that director John Jiminez knows what he’s doing behind the camera, this could’ve been really good if it had managed to successfully blended information about bounty hunting legislation with an interesting story. I’ll go out on a limb and say Fugitive Hunter would’ve stood a chance at being one of better films of the year.

As it is, there’s nothing much to this. Responsible father Quick teams up with his friend Kino to start bounty hunting. Eventually a conspiracy pops up. There’s no real reason for me to give the details to it, as I somehow doubt they’ll persuade you one way or the other to rent it.

One of those films that will fade from my memory by the time the calendar switches to December, but I’d still like to see Jimenez make another film.
