Perrier’s Bounty Review

Michael McCrea is having a pretty tough day. He wakes up with a couple of thugs in his room to remind him he owes a gangster named Perrier money and has four hours before it’s due. If he doesn’t pay up, they’ll break two bones—his choice (fingers don’t count). He comes across his father who informs him he’s dying. The girl who lives downstairs (and Michael has a thing for) is distraught over her cheating boyfriend. He takes part in a robbery to get the money, but his partners stiff him. When the thugs come back, there is a scuffle and one of them ends up dead. So now Perrier puts a price on Michael’s head and the chase is on.

Perrier’s Bounty is comedy at its darkest. Michael is likable enough, but he really is a bit of a loser. Everything that happens to him seems to be the result of someone else’s action, but the blame falls on him. His haplessness is what makes this film a comedy, even though by the end of the day the stack of bodies would be worthy of a Quentin Tarantino film.
