January 11, 2009Cole: You know why we're gonna find you Mason? Cause I can smell your stinkin' ass from here.
A hilariously bad action flick that stars Ice-T as a bum, selected to participate in a man hunt on a secluded island. The story is a loose adaptation of The Most Dangerous Game and has ... read more -

April 13, 2012A guilty pleasure film which I am still captivated by. While Ice-T's Mason could have been played by anyone (I think someone like Matt Dillon could have done just as good, if not a better job), I have to give Ice-T credit. Rutger Hauer was excellent as the crazy psycho Burns as w... read more

March 6, 2012midly entertaining.
most of it was boring, but when they got to the hunting part, it was pretty good. -
July 24, 2010i thought this movie was awesome. i'm not big on testosterone fueled man movies, but this movie was interesting if nothing else. ice-t was fabulous. he's set up by a band of twisted hunters and takes them all out. this is why street smarts are just as valuable in life, if not mor... read more

December 23, 2009Not as bad as I thought that this was going to be. Quite a quality cast for this. I thought it would have been better if Ice T wouldn't have had that many lines. When he spoke, it didn't feel or seem natural. In the action scenes he wasn't so bad though. Some decent but predictab... read more

October 4, 2009Thomas Burns (Rutger Hauer) and Doc Hawkins (Gary Busey) share the same psychotic instincts here. It's just a shame that Hawkins had to die off first. He was actually the most entertaining to watch and carried the plot pretty well. I also thought he was more of a leader than Burn... read more

April 14, 2009An Ice~T classic joint which relates to life so much, so just try your best in surviving the game of life! That's what's up!

June 21, 2008Doc Hawkins: You are missing the best part Mr. Mason. When you are eating the flesh of the pig, look into his little beady eyes. That way you will be devouring his soul.

June 8, 2008Ice-T in his best movie. What does that mean? Actually New Jack City was good.
This is his best movie where he plays a homeless man forced to become bait to a bunch of rich hunters...

This thoroughly absurd action flick that thinks it has some sort of social conscience, badly needs a what-the-heck-were-they-thinking smack upside the head to humble it. Full Review

Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Not a bad twist on "The Most Dangerous Game," but a lot more could have been done with it.

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Cheesy take-off of "The Most Dangerous Game," although it's got a lot of low-rent b-movie energy.
