John Tucker is a BountyHunter in a future where the normal methods of law enforcement have collapsed. He has become the best of an organization called Civilian Operated Police Systems, or C.O.P.S. for short. Unfortunately, he's also the only member who isn't utterly corrupt. Tucker tries to arrest a reporter for a $1,000 bounty, but finds that she’s got evidence that will blow the lid off of C.O.P.S’ corruption. Now, he has to protect her not only from his unscrupulous colleagues but from his treacherous boss Jason Adams and his chief of security Becker... especially once a $100,000 bounty is placed on Tucker’s head...

Added DiffLines:

* NewOldWest: The movie has elements of a Western in its futuristic dystopian setting: outlaws effectively run the towns, bounties galore, and revolvers are the preferred handguns of choice.
* NotQuiteDead: Becker somehow will not stay down no matter how many times Tucker throttles him with his power glove. It takes shooting him multiple times at the end to finally kill him.


Added DiffLines:

* RevolversAreJustBetter: When Tucker isn't using his power glove, his usual weapon is a revolver that he regularly pulls off {{Quick Draw}}s with.
