Watch Surviving the Game For Free

Very Cool!!!

An absolute waste of money

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

There's a whole bushel of 'Most Dangerous Game' films out there, tweaked versions of the same motif in which human beings are hunted for sport, and often large sums of money as well. Surviving The Game is probably the most bombastic and excessive one (John Woo's Hard Target is the way to go if you want something slicker), but it's a hoot of a flick, a dingy, mean spirited exploitation piece with an eccentric cast and thrills right up to the last scene. Ice T stars here under a giant heap of dreadlocks, playing a grumpy homeless man who is approached by an alleged social worker (Charles S. Dutton, intense) and offered help in the form of some vague rehab program way out in the woods. Soon he's out in the woods at the remote retreat run by a sinister ex military Rutger Hauer, joined by other oddballs from all walks of life including F. Murray Abraham and a hopelessly coked out Gary Busey, who chews enough scenery that those giant teeth of his actually go to good use. This is no sabbatical though, as Ice soon finds out, and before he knows it he's scrambling through the wilderness for his life as Hauer & Co. pursue him with a giddy amount of heavy artillery. The film isn't interested in the morality or ethics of it's concept, it's here for a down n' dirty romp and not much else, as long as you're in popcorn mode you'll get a kick out of it. Hauer is intense as ever, with some inspired costume choices and that ever present half smirk that signals danger and violence aren't far off the horizon. Busey is certifiably, completely off his head, spouting monologues that weren't even in the script (Hauer's autobiography provides hilarious behind the scenes insight) and staring down everything that moves in true loosey Busey fashion. Throw in a manic John C. McGinley as well and you've got just about as much crazy as the film can handle. The combat hunting scenes really are impressive and thrilling, well staged stunts against a wilderness backdrop and raucous gunplay all round. An oddball of a flick, in the best way.

I liked this movie very much! They should make more of them. Not only for the idea of a hunted man who is given the opportunity to survive the game by giving him a head start. What I especially like is the humour which is put in almost every scene. I guess it was done intentionally, but I'm not sure.. I laughed throughout the whole movie. The characters and dialogs are all over the top, but not in that matter that it;s not believable anymore.Rutger says to Mason: How many cigarettes do you smoke a day? Mason: As many as I can get my hands on. Rutger: then you are not suited for the vacancy, we need a fit person. If you can run on the mill for 30 minutes you get 20 dollars. Mason start to run and gets 20 dollars and has the job. The last supper in the wooden house in the forest is absolutely hilarious. The father who wants to make his son a man by taking him on a manhunt, great humour!

Boy it sure has been awhile since I've done a movie review Lol, So I thought I'd do a review of an underrated old school classic action flick called Surviving The Game. In this movie Ice T plays a homeless man that gets a job as a wilderness guide for some wealthy people. But what he does not know is that he is going to be the prey. After the chase gets started he manages to put them down one by one. A great manhunt movie in a beautiful environment. Some nice twist in the plot to. This movie is a great piece of work set forth by Ernest Dickerson. The music and action sequences were great. I remember when TNT use too play this movie a lot back in the day when I was younger and I would watch it every time. This is a must watch, very old movie but it will keep you on the edge of your seat.

"Surviving the game" is a movie based on story that by today's standards is very cliché. It was done before (for example : "The Most dangerous game " , "The Running man") it appears today ("The Hunger games") and probably will appear in the future . It's a classic story like a bank robbery or mysterious man from nowhere saves the city . The audience already knows what to expect from this kind of movie. I'm not saying it's a bad thing . In good hands you can make a good movie from unoriginal story. "STG" is somewhere in the middle in terms of quality.There is some impressive cast for a B-class movie : Ice T (famous raper, well maybe not now , but in the past) Rutger Hauer ("Blade runner") , Charles Dutton ("Alien 3") , Gary Busey ("Lethal weapon") and F. Murray Abraham ("Amadeus") . It isn't strange to see Hauer in a B-class movie ( sadly , most of his movies are that) , but to have such interesting bunch of actors in one movie is certainly a rare treat for movie lovers . None of them shows here anything really memorable , but they did a decent job. The story is rather obvious from start to finish. Thankfully it's never boring .The movie itself is a decent popcorn flick . Not a bad way to spend your time . There is nothing you haven't seen here that wasn't done before and better . Still , I was quite entertained for hour and half , and after all I could spend my time in much more painful way watching some crap movie . I give it 3/10.
