Watching [Carano] is fun for a little bit, but seeing her talents thoroughly wasted becomes more depressing than anything else. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety 02/02/2018
"Scorched Earth" is the sort of divertingly hokey post-apocalyptic B-movie that would have amused undiscriminating Blockbuster Video renters a generation ago, and now might pass muster as the pilot for a weekly SyFy series. Go to Full Review
Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 02/01/2018
A decent premise - and a game Gina Carano - get left in the dust kicked up by "Scorched Earth," a dull, draggy post-apocalyptic western set in the not-too-distant, environmentally toxic future. Go to Full Review

Gina Carano wielding a crossbow in a low-budget DTV post-apocalyptic joint. That's all you need to know. Go to Full Review
Bobby LePire Film Threat 05/21/2018
Bolstered by a strong lead performance from Carano, great action set pieces, and impressive world-building, this is one action-thriller that delivers on both of those fronts. Go to Full Review

Gina Carano roams a mild yet tedious postapocalyptic wasteland as a bounty hunter, and either you are here for this lady badass of our feminazi dreams, or you are not. Go to Full Review

Jesus B Aug 12 It's bad, really bad. When I read the review I thought "interesting". When I watched the first minute of it I said to myself "well, it's only an hour long". When I was ten minutes in I said "I've seen enough". Can't recommend it. Actually, I recommend against it, avoid this crap. See more Timothy E Feb 18 I really love Gina Carano. I really like to her when I seen haywire. Then I started watching all her movies. She's beautiful and talented. Gina please keep up the good work and keep making good movie. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ See more victor o 09/04/2022 I'm a big fan of Gina Carano and wanted to check this out solely for her. However, this is direct to video fare and all things considered expected disappointment. I got to admit, I was not disappointed, even with a few blemishes. The earth has become an apocalyptic wasteland and the society has reverted to a lifestyle similar to the Wild West with bounty hunters, and small towns run under ruthless criminals ruling the people like the old cattle and railroad barons of old. Only in this case, it's over much more necessary resources such as medicine and clean water. Gina Carano plays a bounty hunter who must hunt down a ruthless criminal, but things become interesting when she takes on the identity of a captured criminal to catch criminal. With a select group of allies and resources at her disposal, she does what she can with plenty of action. This was pretty good, not as grand but better than I expected. I love Gina Carano and would love to see her do more stuff. See more 10/25/2021 Pretty standard fare for a low-budget action flick. Some of the direction doesn't make much sense. Action scenes were good. Acting was passable. See more 03/22/2021 Learned that silver could be used for filtering air in post-apocalyptic times. See more 11/26/2020 Scorched earth has a few good ideas and Gina is likable but it’s another low budget action movie that’s incredibly forgettable. The acting isn’t very good and nothing here that is memorable beyond a day. See more Read all reviews
