Summary: ANOTHER RIP-OFF OF THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME
Review: A HOMELESS MAN [ICE-T] TAKES A HUNTING JOB ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT HE'S THE PREY. YET ANOTHER ''MOST DANGEROUS GAME'' RIP-OFF, BUT, THIS ONE IS BETTER THAN MOST. HAS SOME GOOD ACTION SCENES. I GUESS IT'S WORTH A WATCH. AT LEAST IT DOES HAVE SOME GOOD ACTORS IN IT.

Summary: Not "The Searchers," but lots of fun
Review: Albeit in a somewhat campy vein. I think I like the dialogue of "Surviving the Game" more than any other aspect of the film. I guess I'm a dialogue kind of guy. I love Richard Crenna's speeches in "First Blood," Arnold's in "Conan"--I walk around quoting them--(how's that for honesty, folks!)--and I quote from this movie often. Rutger Hauer delivers his lines as only he can ("consume it--slowly"), Gary Busey is, well, Gary Busey ("the purity of your primal essence"), and F. Murray Abraham ("four HUNDRED dollars"), Charles Dutton ("you don't want to be slow tomorrow"), John C. McGinley ("don't take my shot") et al., put in honest performances what am I talking about here.BASICALLY I want to buy this video because every time it's on TV they censor it...

Summary: Rutger and Gary kick some a**.
Review: Arguably better than Blade Runner, Rutgers finest film to date. Co-staring Gary Busey at his psychotic best. This film has it all, from top quality action scenes to amazing locations. This film is a mind Knumbing adrenaline filled roller coaster ride from start to finish.

Summary: One Of The Best Action Movies Out There
Review: For all of you who say this movie isn't worth it, this movie has been in my collection for some time now, and every once and a while I pull it out and watch it over and over. It is one of the best action movies out there...and its a break from the same old predictible movie that everyone always gets tired of. It gets five stars from me because it touches you and disgusts you because they hunt this man. It's a very exciting movie, and it leaves you at the end of your seat, which is a lot more I can say for some of the newer movies.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE WITH DEEP FAULTS
Review: For all this movie has going for it, nothing can overcome the weak dialogue and limp direction. Once the action kicks in it doesn't let up until the movie's climax and the villains are more than hissable. Ice-T turns in an okay performance as Jack Mason, a man unwittingly hired to be the human prey for a bunch of rich psychos who have nothing left to get pleasure from other than "breaking necks with their bares hands". The bad guys are plentiful and are better written than Ice-T's character. Gary Busey has (an unfortunately small) role as Doc Hawkins who killed his beloved dog when he was 12 and has never looked back in the kill=fun department. John C. McGinley is John Griffin, a Texas oil tycoon who is convinced that Mason is the man who stalked and killed his daughter. He really goes over the edge and becomes some sort of obsessive maniac. F. Murray Abraham is Mr. Wolfe, "the most feared man on Wall Street" who proves that not all suits are wimpy, upper-class and civilized and wants his son Wolfe Jnr (William McNamara) to be the same way. Rutger Hauer and Charles S. Dutton play Thomas Burns and Walter Cole, the men who organise and arrange the hunt but do not actually participate in it. With all this character set up there is zero dialogue that is even slightly memorable or quoteable and the direction leaves a lot to be considered. But Stewart Copelands ace musical score and the beautiful Pacific Northwest scenery make up for that. I suggest that you buy this DVD if you can get a good price on it.... The DVD is in Dolby 5.1 and is anamorphically enhanced at 1.85:1.

Summary: A thrilling movie that keeps you on the edge!
Review: Great movie. It keeps you on the edge of your seat during the whole movie. Every actor fit their part perfectly. Get it, watch it, and better yet enjoy it.

Summary: Good for about 20 minutes
Review: I can see why this movie isn't very expensive, despite all the good actors like Gary Busey, Rutger Hauer, and John C. McCinley. No, Ice-T is NOT a good actor.... But, back to the movie review. The first 20 minutes or so is pretty boring. Just Ice T's life as a homeless man. Loses his dog and is 97 year old friend.... Then he gets what he thinks might be a good job as a hunting guide in the wilderness of Oregon or Washington or somewhere up there. Then the movie gets good for a while. The whole dinner scene is great. Gary Busey is perfect here. Of course, Ice T hurts the scene with his bad acting. The next morning they sort of let him know that's he will be the prey they'll be hunting and they give him a head start. The movie is still good at this point. Unfortunately, the first person who dies is Gary Busey. He was the best part of the whole movie. I think he should have lasted longer. He could have saved the rest of this movie. After his death, the movie ...doesn't get better. It's just the rest of them chasing Ice T around, he's setting booby traps, same old stuff. If it weren't for Rutger Hauer, I probably never would have finished watching this movie. It is interesting to see Charles Dutton as a bad guy chasing a black guy. I never thought I'd see that. Bottom line: Get the dvd for under 10 dollars at most places, watch the first 45 minutes or so, then trade it in at some used cd/dvd store.

Summary: A good movie for the price........
Review: I have always liked this movie. I think it's interesting, fun & it's got some really good actors in it. I would never pay more than $10 for it, and now I get it for $6.99 and for that reason, it is in my collection. Once again we have a movie where some hunters hunt down a human instead of an animal. A bum that lives on the streets named Mason (Ice T) gets approached by a man (Charles S. Dutton) who works at a shelter about a possible job opportunity. The job is being a hunting guide for a group of hunters. The leader of the hunters is Rutger Hauer, who is once again playing the bad guy. Mason is led to believe this is just a job. He is then led to a cabin in the middle of nowhere and everyone sits down to dinner. They drink a bit, converse and you get to meet the characters. Mason soon learns, however, that he is the prey. He wakes up in the morning to Dutton holding a pistol in his face and Hauer explaining what the game is. The game is that the hunters (Hauer, Dutton, Gary Busey, & F. Murray Abraham, John C. McGinley, & William McNamara) will eat a leasurely breakfast while Mason can run for his life. After breakfast, the hunters will then go hunt their prey. It's kind of an interesting plotline. I know it's been done over and over in movies, but the characters are what makes this movie fun. Each one has their own personality. Hauer plays the cool bad guy. Dutton plays off him very well and tricks Ice T. Busey plays the insane role better than anyone. McGinley makes a good, big Texan. And Abraham & McNamara play a good psycho-father, good-son combo. The Ice T character is really hurt by the fact that Ice T can't act his way out of a paper sack. He has never been a good actor. He never will be a good actor. And I don't see why all these rappers think they need to be in movies. If they have talent (Ice Cube isn't too bad depending on the role), that's fine. Ice T doesn't have any acting talent. But, you don't watch this movie to see acting talent. You watch it to be entertained for two hours. The movie definately delivers in that area. It's a testosterone filled ride that most guys should love and will purchase for the low price it is selling at. This is a pretty bare-bones DVD. It's got a trailer and cast biographies. That's about it. Kinda disappointing, but expected from a movie like this.
