Christmas Bounty (2013)

A former bounty hunter turns into an elementary schoolteacher. Determined to have a normal life and keep her bounty hunter past a secret, she reluctantly returns home for Christmas to help save the family business by catching the one bounty that got away. Christmas Bounty was focused more on showing up close women's chests than actually having a script, a story or perhaps a movie? It's pretty much boring, stupid and just god awfully cheesy and if you ever find it online or on dvd? Don't buy it just destroy all the copies it's much better. (F)

This movie is fun - a lot of laughs (for a T.V. movie), a good amount of action (for a T.V. movie), and girl power. There's no dramatic, depressing subplot. There isn't holiday music playing constantly. There isn't the 'fake fiancée to impress my parents' plot that most holiday romance movies have. It's a lot of jokes about Italians/guidos from New Jersey (I'm a Puerto Rican-Italian from New Jersey and the jokes are spot on.), a lot of catching bad guys without anyone getting hurt (it's a bit like Home Alone in that regard), and a love triangle with good chemistry between the actors. The actor who plays the leading lady (Francia Raisa) is actually Hispanic, not Italian, so I assume her character is supposed to be adopted. Whatever the case, I appreciate that they cast a person of color for the lead.

A former Bounty Hunter (Francia Raisa) leaves her tumultuous life behind when she decides to kick it to the curb for an easier lifestyle. She becomes an elementary school teacher, finding a fiancé in the process, who has no idea of the life Tory once lead. Tory is forced to go back to her old life when an old nemesis wants revenge. I don't wanna come across as the Grinch. I really did try to go into this movie with an open mind! I'm not that easy to please. I love wrestling, but I'm not a Miz fan. Naturally, when I found out about this movie I decided to avoid it like the plague. Don't ask me why or how, but for some reason I decided to give it a look! curiosity is a terrible thing sometimes, especially when you're a wrestling fan about to watch a WWE Studio's production. This movie is bland as you probably expected it to be. Every once in a while, a made for TV movie can wind up catching you by surprise. No such luck with this one. Movies involving Bounty Hunters rarely ever work out. There are so many things wrong with this movie that I don't know where to begin. Let's start with the awful Christmas tunes that made my ears bleed! It's full of cringe inducing comedy and sentimental BS, which gets tiring fast. The main problem with this movie is that there is not one likable character in this movie! Everybody is extremely annoying and very cartoonish, suffering from the pratfalls of the overly predictable script. The Miz's character isn't all that distinguishable from his persona in real life. He comes across as overly arrogant, but doesn't have the charisma to pull it off. "Mikey Muscles" ? Give me a break! When I heard him say "You're smoking hot ex-boyfriend" , I knew I was in trouble. Francia Raisa is thoroughly annoying and pretentious as our heroine. I couldn't stand to watch her. The love triangle with Miz & Greenberg was painful to watch. Will Greenberg plays the buffoonish fiancé well, annoying the crap out of me. Boring action, painfully predictable romance, terrible characters, and poor writing really sink this movie. This is as bland as you can possibly get! I got what I deserved by choosing to watch this movie. Don't make the same mistake3.8/10

I saw this movie earlier tonight and i was very surprised.Its not your average Christmas movie its about two people who are bounty hunters trying to get this criminal before Christmas.Thats a brief summary but its an interesting premise.I did enjoy this film for what it was:The actors got the job done especially WWE wrestler The Miz.Francia Raisa did fine for the role she had to play,and the rest of the cast for the most part did a good job.The action sequences were done well without bad editing or shaky cam which I hate in most movies today. There are some flaws:The film is predictable in some cases,and some things could have been cut like the scenes in the club,the break dancing at the end,and some sexual innuendos.Overall,its a decent film thats not for everyone(Just a little warning)but I found it entertaining.6/10
