SCORCHED EARTH is another B-movie action flick. The setting is a science fiction one, with a small cast of characters struggling to survive in a derelict world following an unspecified apocalypse, but the story and trappings are straight from a western. Gina Carano plays a bounty hunter on the trail of some very bad men, but for a large chunk of the running time she goes undercover and works WITH them to achieve her aims. Truth be told, the story isn't up to much and neither is Carano's acting; the only likeable performance comes from the reliable John Hannah, cast as the grizzled old-timer. The film is punctuated by moments of violence which are rather bloody, but the end result is average rather than great.
