Lance Henriksen and Arnold Vosloo play a couple of a rich assholes who like to hunt the homeless. They promise them a fat wad of cash, give them a head-start and a safe-zone destination, and off they run... The game goes well for a while, until they make one big mistake. They go after...
Jean-Claude Van Damme. And he has a mullet!
So some damsel in distress comes along and ropes a very capable drifter (JCVD) into an investigation on her father's death, and things kinda work their way to a bunch of great action scenes with loads of explosions and high kicks to the face.
Seriously, he uses gasoline to explode a lot of stuff. He's also a bit of a dick, like when he kills Sven-Ole Thorsen's henchman character.And no, that isn't a spoiler, because Sven dies in just about every movie he's in. He rules.
So, JCVD shoots him a bunch in the torso. He's a goner for sure, but he still deserves one good kick in the face, right? And for no reason really. JCVD made this one kinda personal, huh?
What a cheesefest sometimes. JCVD is almost superhuman in this. Wilford Brimley uses a bow and arrow. Lance Henriksen has a prominent role and is properly utilized. Ted Raimi cameos.
The hunting concept is actually a bit unnerving at times. A competently made action flick with a blob of macho cheese added. If you're anything like me (and I really hope you aren't), then you'll eat all that cheese and asks for more. Part 2, coming up...
