frustrating

Who else felt like yelling at the screen, "you people are fu*king idiots." Sort of reminds me of the mayor in Jaws. Only their problems matter and whoever has to suffer, so be it. How ignorant does someone have to be to want to hunt a human who they know nothing about. Hunting a convict might be fun, but attacking a random guy...it's like every character had an IQ of 20 and just felt like attacking someone for the sake of feeling powerful.

I guess in that sense it does resemble real life...

So what is the point of this post? People can criticise this movie and say that the plot was weak and the character development sucked (I'd say the movie was more about blindness). That is what makes this movie real, because many people out there are blind and underdeveloped mentally. Just because a character is not formulated and developed in a cliche way does not mean that movie sucks...

Ice Tea plays a homeless man – someone lowest of the low in society. The hunters ALL have tons of money – they pay$15,000 each to kill this homeless man.

It’s a great film. I watched it on video in 1994/ 1995 and there were a batch of these almost ‘80’s’ type films like Dolph’s ‘men of War’ and ‘Liota in ‘no escape’ Dudikoff In something, can’t remember. It was like trying to capture the 1980’s action flick of the lone man taking on all the odds. It felt great watching ’Surviving the game’ this morning*
