Audience Member i have a soft spot for 80s killer rape gang/family tropes which is now seldom seen outside of horror film funny MacGyver vibe that ages this movie as unmistakable late 80s the cops pissing into a styrofoam coffee cup & giving it to a homeless panhandler to drink is one the oddest callbacks also one of the funniest I🖤SnakeEater & SnakeEater🖤me Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Think Lethal Weapon meets Deliverance. This movie is actually pretty dang awesome! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best action movies I've ever seen! A must see! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is hilarious! I always thought that this movie would be ridiculous cheese and it is. Cheesy ridiculous awesomeness. This is a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Lorenzo Lamas is the Snake Eater! It's a hilariously awful film that is kind of a mashup of a Rambo-like character from a Miami Vice-like setting, forced to rescuer a missing woman captured by Deliverance-like hillbillies living in the Florida swamps. It's a terrible movie, but it was also pretty entertaining in it's awfulness. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A suspended cop goes after hillbillies who killed his parents and abducted his sister. Could have been better if it was more seriously made. Has some horrible acting but features cameos from "the Hawk" Ronnie Hawkins and Larry Csonka. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
