Goofs

(at around 43 mins) When the three male leads are "apprehended" inside Nikki's trailer looking for their friend Mike, Kendra smacks Conner across the face with the gun she is holding. In the ensuing scenes blood is seen seeping from Conners nose, scene changes, then it is gone, scene changes again and the blood has reappeared again.

User Reviews

Good idea/poor execution

I had low expectations for this, and after watching it, I really just think they should have put more effort & money into it.

You won't see the gore that was in the first 2 movies, mostly just splattering blood, but the story and change of scenery was a nice twist.

The lower budget is evident. I thought the acting was fine except for a couple over-the-top performances. The first half set up was good, but the second half just seemed rushed. Maybe they were running out of money.

I thought they should have expanded on the new Las Vegas Hunting Club set up a lot more. Was it purely for betting purposes? Were the Hunters paid to perform or were they paying to kill as in the first movies?

The first kill had potential, but it felt unfinished... The second kill made no sense at all. The third one screamed for a higher budget...

Someone once said that they don't understand why they are remaking great movies, what they should be doing is remaking not so good movies. This is a candidate for the latter.
