DVD Reviews of Surviving the Game
DVD Review: Good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I rented this movie years and years ago and really liked it. Then I saw something on tv recently that made me think about it, and I realized it never gets shown on the movie channels.. so I bought it and it's still greatDVD Review: THE SILVER STANDARD 1
Summary: 4 Stars
i bet that , fairly young at the time , "COP KILLER" music author and impresario ICE-T never in his wildest dreams imagined that plural acadamy award nominee/winners would be hunting him as human prey in a major motion picture . well , the affluet are shown for the effluent they are when the ICE man turns the tables on a terrific cast in this rousing , satisfying and very entertaining action pic . you've got HAUER , DUTTON , BUSEY , ABRAHAM and McGINLEY chewing the scenery like it was a hearty salad . this is a fun movie with a capital F . enjoy the ride and don't forget to check out the T on "LAW AND ORDER" where he does very likable work as well . DVD Review: Good Plot
Summary: 4 Stars
Great plot. Ice Tee showed off his acting chops. Makes you view homeless people in a different light. One of the few movies where the star of the movie is black (with a mostly white cast) and not a bad guy (i.e. Training Day) This may explain why it didn't last in movies but trust me it is REAL goodDVD Review: Surviving this Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
With a cast like Rutger Hauer and Gary Busey, how could you go wrong?!? I tell you where! Ice-T! But, I can't totally blame him because there was also the horrible script, the cheesy acting on everyone's part, and just plain stupid scenes where I couldn't help but laugh. This is a movie you watch late at night when you can't fall asleep (because this will make you got to bed) or a movie that you show your friends because of how corny it is. Overall I rate this movie a -2 out of 5.DVD Review: The Hunted becomes the Hunter!!
Summary: 4 Stars
ICE-T starts out as a homeless man down on his luck, trying to get back on his feet, and in the process of it all he is aproched by a man about doing a job for him which would help him get back on his feet again...
I rate this movie a 8 from 1to10!!
Description of Surviving the Game
A homeless man, recruited as a guide by a band of wealthy hunters, winds up the hunted instead. Starring Ice-T, Rutger Hauer and Gary Busey.One more time around for the storyline of The Most Dangerous Game, except this one's refitted with explosions, big guns, and a flood of testosterone. Ice-T plays Mason, a homeless man shanghaied from the streets of Los Angeles to work as a guide and all-around man Friday for a hunting party. What the down-on-his-luck fellow soon finds out is that he is the quarry, and has to rely on his own resourcefulness to stay one step ahead of his tormentors. Laden with atrocious dialogue and narrative implausibilities, this is still a fun action movie if seen only for its own merits and nothing more. The fine cast (Gary Busey, Charles Dutton, F. Murray Abraham, John C. McGinley) chews the script until practically frothing at the mouth while trying to out-maniac each other. Busey is the head macho lunatic, but the twitchy McGinley nearly steals the show as he turns the knob on the weirdo meter up to eleven, then breaks it off and throws it away. Ice-T, on the other hand, puts his coping skills to the test as the hapless human prey. Most of director Ernest R. Dickerson's resum? has consisted of cinematography work (for Spike Lee, among others), and it shows with the film's competent, almost glossy look. Don't watch Surviving the Game expecting any great statements or overarching agendas, and you'll be surprised by an untentionally goofy action picture with preposterous situations and wide-open-throttle performances. Plus, chances are you've never seen a foot-wide pine tree chopped down with a shotgun (we kid you not). --Jerry Renshaw
