The Most Dangerous Game

Oh CT I love you. I have waited for this movie as I am as long time fan of Surviving the Game. I expected so much. I expected so so much. For gods sake you have Judd Nelson. Bruce Dern and Tom Berenger. This movie should have been amazing. Again CT I adore you but this was complete trash and I can't even say any of you are acting as it's wooden and deplorable. I soldiered on and continued watching. My advice is unless you love CT. Do not watch this movie. You will never get that 90 minutes back again. Life is too short. This movie has been done so well before. I strongly recommend you watch Surviving the Game instead. Ice T is fantastic and Rutger Hauer menacing and they can act.

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.

...and worse than I thought it would be with this cast, which made me think there was something new or good about it. Nope, no creativity, no story, no excitement. Casper has no German accent to offer and the script was as if written by a high school freshman. Avoid avoid avoid.

First let me say I love CT he is one of my favorite people.. this also had other big name actors and the acting was just terrible. Because of the other actors I am chalking this up to poor direction.. the idea behind the film is great just wish it wasn't so painful to watch. I would still watch something else with CT or the other cast just hoping they have better direction and maybe some acting lessons.

I did like the concept and the action was pretty good but even the fight scenes were rough to watch............................. .................................. Overall the only thing dangerous about the movie is the chance of falling asleep during it.

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 A Caçada (2020) instead, this I wouldn't.
