Storyline

Chuck Toedan's the host of a gameshow featuring death row convicts competeing in life-or-death contests in hopes of cheating the executioner or, at the very least, winning some nice prizes for their next of kin. Not surprisingly, Chuck has made more than a few enemies, from outraged viewers trying to ban his show, to families of losing contestants looking for revenge. A hitman hired by one such family has shown up at Chuck's office, and he'll need to enlist the help of his most outspoken critic to keep from ending up like most of his contestants. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

cheesy...but i like cheesy. perfect for all around laughs.
25 April 2004 | by (yucca valley, CA) – See all my reviews

if you are like me and like to watch movies to have fun and conversate with your friends, then watch this. its so ridiculous that you have to tell people about it. you MUST have a sense of humor to watch! great for a night of laughs. i have never seen anything like this movie before. i remember watching with my older brothers when i was little, it wasnt until i was older that i understood the humor. not the greatest actors, but what B rated movie has good actors anyways. some may be offended by it, but i personally think that this is one for many to see, and in these days everybody has this sick sense of humor that i have come to love. its one that you can watch over to catch all of the silly stupid parts. A++++
