Typical action film but plays tribute and homage to the "Most Dangerous Game" kind of genre. The Major Characters grow while the rest of the characters are there to move the plot and serve a small role. There could be more action, the story is overused, the cliche's weren't that bad, bit clever in some places and overall it was quite entertaining and some points in the film were pretty interesting and cool. I recommend seeing it to be entertained at the least.

Story is pretty cliche but passable. However the movie itself is either monstrously contrived, nonsensical or outright stupid (and sometimes all three). A decent cast is wasted on this film. Why does Mason survive? What makes him different? Why do the hunters seem to only want to kill him when they can't and when they can kill him only want to miss profusely? On the plus side Busey gets to tell a story about his scare which is so unintentionally comedic it's a definite film highlight.

Cool story: I actually watched this during a week I spent locked up in juvie when I was 16. I remember being shown this, and Reservoir Dogs. This got a rousing ovation, RD was mercilessly booed by all the wiggers and budding career criminals. So there you go. BTW stay in school, don't do drugs, etc.

Not as bad as I thought that this was going to be. Quite a quality cast for this. I thought it would have been better if Ice T wouldn't have had that many lines. When he spoke, it didn't feel or seem natural. In the action scenes he wasn't so bad though. Some decent but predictable action and some pretty tense moments which make this a decent little action film. It sure looked like it was fun to make anyway.

Fun cast, guilty pleasure.

Interesting spin on the "sociopaths that hunt people" story, but Mason is way too resourceful for not knowing anything about wilderness survival. And a blocked gun barrel does not create a fiery explosion.

Entertaining B movie. The strong supporting cast helps keep this hilarious.

Epitomizes the trouble F. Murray Abraham seemed to have with his career after his astonishing success in Amadeus. Though it doesn't quite achieve "classic bad movie" status, it is a rip-off of so many other things that anything that's good in it (and there are some good parts) is usually nullified. Pretty bad.

cool b-movie stuff

so bad, it's good haha. i can definitely watch this again to laugh how "funnily serious" it is. who doesn't love gary busey anyway?

It's hard to like or even feel much sympathy for the protagonist, who is played poorly (but not quite terribly) by Ice-T. And there are some slow moments, such as Ice-T's long, irrelevant conversation with the asthmatic John McGinley. But damn if it doesn't have some neat kills, fights, and visuals (like the grisly room of jars). Gary Busey, Rutger Hauer, and Murray Abraham are all quite good here. Overall, it's a very watchable, occasionally entertaining action flick..

Seen "The Most Dangerous Game?" Then you've seen this. Rutger Hauer gives a good performance if a bit hammy (when is he not?) and Ice-T does fine as well. It's just hardly original.

Dumb action take on "The Most Dangerous Game", updated with automatic weapons.

Better than average "people hunting people" flick

Shamefully bad.
