In the not-too-distant future, the world is ravaged by brutal climate changes, colloquially known as the Cloud Fall. The combination of pollution and relentless mining of Earth's resources through industrialism has left the environment nearly unlivable and extremely hostile to human habitation. Humanity is forcefully reverted to a simpler lifestyle, relying on barter for the two most valuable resources now: Water purifiers, called tabs, and silver, ground up to line the interior of breathing masks, to keep out a painful and fatal airborne disease known as Black Lung.

This script is so bad,it makes American Ninja look oscar worthy. You can clearly see why Sean Bean turned this down. It comes off as a really bad rip off,from Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider.

The biggest problem is the bad script,the horrible acting.It has clearly all the signs of a Western,only it has been pushforward in the modern day of age.Added a dose of doomsday and end of the world.

GIna doesn't even look like she is trying to act,but then again,neither does the rest. The story is: that the world has been devastated by man made disasters,caused by global warming.And that everyone who drives a vehicle based on combustion engine.Which uses gasoline and spew exhaust, is considered an outlaw, and are thereby by hunted by bounty hunters.

The problem is,there's no explanation as to where the government get data/information about who drives what,and where. Nor how they communicate with the local law offices, around the wastelands. There is some talk about how they drop by every now and again.To leave silver and water purification tablets,which work as the payment for the bounty hunters. But nothing,bout how they get from A to B. There are Horses as transportation,but it doesn't seem like everyone has them. Which coincidentally is why this movie doesn't work. Neither as a western nor as a mad max movie .

Gina was super great in haywire,but this..This is below her level. Oh GIna if you needed money that bad,why didn't you just pose for playboy.I',m sure they would have paid a lot more.


Although classified as old movies, but it would not hurt if you watch again, because the movie in my opinion bener bener extraordinary good
