Audience Reviews for Wanted: Dead or Alive

  • Sep 18, 2010
    Rutger Hauer as a bounty hunter, pitted against a terrorist played by Gene Simmons. It doesn't get any cooler than that. This is low budget 80s action at its best, it utilizes what it has and doesn't come off as cheesy or dumb. The plot works, but it's the little things that make it great. The fact that Rutger Hauer has a command center that rivals the batcave is my favorite aspect. Just total fun.

    just your typical action film thats very jumpy and hard to follow. rutger plays his typically alpha male type character good enough while gene simmons is pretty dire as some terrorist. towards the 2nd half of this i really began to switch off and become uninterested. i actually feel a bit angry for watching it. it was okay, but it's not something i can deal with on an already mostly wasted day. i mistakingly thought it was heading to an action packed finale.. the final minute or two was so unbelievable as well. meh

    Hauer is a total badass and deserved a tighter, more exciting flick than this.
