On the surface, 'Nature of the Beast' is a pretty standard DTV affair with nothing to overly recommend it. However it's the two leads that make it work. Lance Henriksen & Eric Roberts star in a quasi-road trip movie where one is left to wonder which one of them is the serial killer on the loose dubbed "The Hatchet Man" and whenever one of them is the person responsible for ripping off a casino for a cool million dollars.
There's some solid character acting going on here. A battle of wits. A mental almost cat and mouse game between the two. The idea of giving Lance's character a gut was silly though and the straightforward plot drifts at times, but the two leads ultimately hold it together.
'Nature Of The Beast' has decent atmosphere and a pretty good ending. The only reason I took a view is because of Lance Henriksen one of my favorite actors. Loved him in the 'Millennium' tv series. I recommend this to fellow fans. Although this has to be one of the better straight-to-video movies that Roberts has appeared in.
