Trivia

In an early scene in the woods, Banks says to Crab about not shooting him: "I am not going to kill you" then turns to Jensen handing him his gun and says "Shoot that piece of sh**" appears to be a homage to the movie "Scarface" When Tony Montana says the same thing to Manny just before Lopez was killed.

[first lines]
Title Card: Texas. Somewhere near the border.
Jim Rhodes: There it is at eleven hundred. Doesn't look like much, but our informant swears it's a clearing house for human trafficking.

User Reviews

Some good things, but overall disappointing

I put off seeing "Hunt To Kill" for a long time, after coming across several negative reviews of it; I only rented it the other day when I was able to rent it very cheaply. After seeing it, I can understand what provoked those negative reviews. To be fair, not everything about the movie is disappointing. The production values are pretty good, the British Columbia locations the movie shot at are attractive to the eye, and Steve Austin shows he can play a tough and charismatic protagonist. If he can get on projects with good scripts and directors, I predict he could have a healthy B movie career ahead of him. Unfortunately, "Hunt To Kill" is not well-written or directed. The movie is surprisingly dull for the most part, with endless bickering between the characters and very little action for the first hour. What action there is isn't well-constructed, with poorly chosen camera angles and edits. Eric Roberts fans beware: He only appears for just a few minutes.
