This 1994 updating of "The Most Dangerous Game" stars Ice-T as a homeless man, Mason, who has lost everything and everyone that he cares about and is ready to kill himself. However fate intervenes and he is offered a job accompanying a group of rich hunters (led by a ridiculously evil Rutger Hauer) out into a remote mountain wilderness. Unfortunately, it turns out that he is their intended prey and -though outnumbered and unarmed- the chase is on and he is forced to fight for his life.
That is the plot in a nutshell and the film wastes as little time as possible before plunging the viewer into Mason's ordeal. There is high suspense throughout, excellent fight scenes, and some welcome doses of gallows humor along the way. The supporting cast (including Gary Busey being as OTT as ever) are very capable and the plot holes are easy to overlook. Great with popcorn, better with a few buddies and six-pack.
