Plot: The Richard Connell short story, {-The Most Dangerous Game}, has been adapted for the screen many times. In this updated version, the rapper-actor Ice-T plays Mason, a homeless man whose best friend and his dog both die on the same day. Cole (Charles S. Dutton, a relief worker, tells Mason that there's a job available that entails leading a hunting expedition in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. The desperate Mason signs on. The hunting party is led by two CIA agents, Burns (Rutger Hauer) and Hawkins (Gary Busey), and it includes a business executive, Wolfe, Sr. (F. Murray Abraham), his son (William McNamara), and a strange Texan, Griffin (John C. McGinley). Mason flies on ahead to prepare the hunting lodge, and there he discovers that he is to be the prey for the hunt, though the hunters at least give him a head start before pursuing. The violent action pits the high-tech hunters, armed with numerous fancy weapons and vehicles, against Mason -- who must rely on his street smarts to escape and turn the tables on the hunting party. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

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 .

Good Plot
Added 9/22/2009

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 good

Surviving this Movie
Added 6/12/2009

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.

Added 5/9/2009

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!!

Ice-T's Best Performance!
Added 6/28/2008

For those of you that don't know, Ice T is a really good actor.

This movie is a classic.

Highly recommended to all manly men! If you like this movie, check out the movie "The Hunted"!
