Death Hunt is relatively forgotten action film that was pretty entertaining even though Charles Bronson doesn't have that many lines, he really didn't have to in this movie. The great Lee Marvin and Andrew Stevens who you probably know from some Shannon Tweed films go hunting for Bronson in the biting cold Canadian winter with lots of action and overall a pretty good film, worth checking out if you can "hunt" it down somewhere.
