Editorial Comments

Description:
A homeless man, recruited as a guide by a band of wealthy hunters, winds up the hunted instead. Starring Ice-T, Rutger Hauer and Gary Busey.

Amazon.com:
One more time around for the storyline of The Most Dangerous Game, except this one's refitted with explosions, big guns, and a flood of testosterone. Ice-T plays Mason, a homeless man shanghaied from the streets of Los Angeles to work as a guide and all-around man Friday for a hunting party. What the down-on-his-luck fellow soon finds out is that he is the quarry, and has to rely on his own resourcefulness to stay one step ahead of his tormentors. Laden with atrocious dialogue and narrative implausibilities, this is still a fun action movie if seen only for its own merits and nothing more. The fine cast (Gary Busey, Charles Dutton, F. Murray Abraham, John C. McGinley) chews the script until practically frothing at the mouth while trying to out-maniac each other. Busey is the head macho lunatic, but the twitchy McGinley nearly steals the show as he turns the knob on the weirdo meter up to eleven, then breaks it off and throws it away. Ice-T, on the other hand, puts his coping skills to the test as the hapless human prey. Most of director Ernest R. Dickerson's resumé has consisted of cinematography work (for Spike Lee, among others), and it shows with the film's competent, almost glossy look. Don't watch Surviving the Game expecting any great statements or overarching agendas, and you'll be surprised by an untentionally goofy action picture with preposterous situations and wide-open-throttle performances. Plus, chances are you've never seen a foot-wide pine tree chopped down with a shotgun (we kid you not). --Jerry Renshaw

5 out of 5 starsIce-T's Best Performance!
For those of you that don't know, Ice T is a really good actor.

This movie is a classic.

Highly recommended to all manly men! If you like this movie, check out the movie "The Hunted"!



4 out of 5 starsIntense and action-packed modern-day "The Most Dangerous Game"
This film is basically a modern retelling of the old short story "The Most Dangerous Game"; for those unfamiliar with that tale, it revolves around a man who is tricked into being the prey for a man who tired of hunting animals and began to hunt humans for the challenge. The same happens here: Mason (Ice-T) is a homeless bum who has a run-in with a church worker (Charles Dutton, normally a veritable teddy bear, is just a nasty villain here) who convinces him to contact an associate of his for a job (Rutger Hauer). Flying Mason out to their campsite, he is "hired" as a hunting guide, when in fact he is little more than the prey for a vicious human hunt.

This isn't Oscar material, but it's solid Saturday afternoon fare with a solid cast (Garey Busey, F. Murray Abraham, and John C. McGinley of "Office Space" fame in a deranged role that is the polar opposite of his in the aforementioned film); enjoyable fare.



4 out of 5 starsGREAT ACTION
ALTHOUGH THE LANGUAGE WAS PRETTY ROUGH IN PLACES, MY HUSBAND & I LIKE THIS VERSION BEST OF THE MOVIES BASED ON "THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME". THE CAST WAS WONDERFUL, THE SETTING WAS GREAT, THE ACTION WAS EXCITING & WE LOVED THE ENDING!



5 out of 5 starsSURVIVING THE GAME
Surviving the Game
MY MOTHERS AND MINE FAVORITE MOVIE. WHEN WE ARE DOWN WE WATCH THIS GREAT MOVIE ABOUT A MAN DOWN ON HIS LUCK FEELING BAD OVER THE LOSS OF HIS WIFE AND CHILD. HE ACCEPTS A JOB AS A GUIDE FOR GAME HUNTERS AND BECOMES THE HUNTED. WATCH THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE ON HOW HE SURVIVES TURNING THE TABLES ON HIS CAPTURES.



5 out of 5 starsbookworm
This movie was very intense and violent. Not for anyone under 18. This is a man's movie for sure.
