The Most Dangerous Game

Even Judd Nelson was horrible.

And that guy C. T. was so bad I thought my eyes were bleeding. How anyone ever cast him in a movie is beyond me.

The story was a re-hash (or an attempt at a re-hash) of the old movie of the same name, but the sheer stupidity of this thing distanced itself from the original by thousands of miles.

Avoid this like the plague. It's really that bad.

There's a whole lot of talking (bad exposition, bad writing, bad acting, incomprehensible dialogue) for an action movie. A razzie is too good for this dreck. CT is the man, but he should stick to his day job. I recommend only as a drinking game, even if I haven't come up with the rules yet.

Oh My God indeed. Yes, this movie was rubbish and low budget, apparently just under $220k. To keep the costs down, I think that Kevin Porter wasn't given a speaking part and his dialogue was the best part of the film.

I didn't recognise Tom Berenger (Dr Ben Colt), well done there. Judd Nelson (Marcus Rainsford) actually didn't look too well and looked stupid in an oversize shirt. He could pass as being related to Bruce Dern (Whitney Tyler).

Casper Van Dien (Baron Von Wolf) didn't break his character during the whole movie, I found it a bit weird that he had a picture of himself, in his hunting gear.

Overall, this movie sucks, the acting sucks, the set sucks, the effects suck. I'd recommend The Hunt (2020) instead, this I wouldn't.

As the classic short story, of shipwrecked sailors being hunted by a crazed tracker, became copyright free in 2019, it was only a matter of time before a low budget effort hit the screens. Sadly, this one is too low in budget and just doesn't have the ability to get the suspense onto the screen.

In this version of the story, men in a room, tell you they are on a ship (because it's not obvious), then wake up on a beach and discuss how their ship must have exploded and they've been swept ashore. There wasn't even the budget for a CGI or model ship. Seriously, they said, "We're on a ship," then we cut to them on a beach and they say, "our ship must have exploded." - That should tell you everything you need to know.

Overall, the acting is on the poor end and the thrills of the original story are completely absent here. However, the one stand out feature is Casper van Dien who is surprisingly charismatic. It's a hammy kind of role requiring a hammy kind of acting and he seems to understand what is expected; as a result he manages to carry the film whenever he's onscreen, (which isn't enough). I would not call it "good acting", but at least he manages to inject some life and personality into it.

Well, there are some known actors in the game, but to be honest, that does not justifies watching this one: everything is just underachieving, boring, generic. My advice: just put Surviving the Game (Rutger Hauer), Hard Target (Van Damme) or the rather new Beyond the Reach (Michael Douglas) again on your screen and you are better served.
