      Joe S One of my personal favorites based on the cast, and is on par with The Hunt. Running Man is great as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Audience Member A number of quality character actors (Busey! F. Murray! John C.! Charles S.!) get their paychecks hunting Ice-T in this tame variation on "Most Dangerous Game." Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked it because I could see that happening especially with all the homeless that we have in the streets all over the country. And iced tea was amazing watching him in this movie, I really felt all his character was feeling, and I rooted for him all the way thru the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very underrated movie. If you like 90's action movies then you will probably enjoy this movie. It's an entertaining movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review thomas b One of my favorite survival films from the 1990s. Hunting the homeless couldn't be more fun with this all-star cast of riflemen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review P G I watched this as a kid and I loved it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/19 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Simon Abrams House Next Door Submitting Surviving the Game for the White Elephant blogathon is like giving an unwieldy lump of coal to a child on Christmas day: As malicious gestures go, it's a doozy. Apr 1, 2011 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn This movie is captivating and almost fun? This is a solid viewing experience that I would definitely recommend to friends. Rated: 4/5 May 19, 2022 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This was such a wild and fun ride. The performances were completely nuts but that's what makes it so entertaining! Rated: 4/5 May 19, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It's an impressive gathering of recognizable character actors enjoying themselves in poorly written parts.
