In the dystopian future of 2052, mankind has devolved into two extremes of "have's" and "have not's". Those with the means have become so decadent that, if they wish, they have the power to hunt and kill another human being. Those without the means have become the hunted. The Brotherhood of Mars Corporation controls the battlefield where the hunts are staged. When the Brotherhood casts out one of their own, Morgan, into the dangerous wilderness, he must quickly adapt and join a struggling tribe of survivors. There he meets Naomi, a beautiful and resourceful young woman who's deadly with her bow. Just when they learn to trust each other, the Brotherhood of Mars have sent out their most bloodthirsty hunters to track them down. Let the games begin!

Let's be realistic.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

In the future the Brotherhood of Mars corporation has camps set up where hunting "unwanted" is legal. There are rules of engagement. Hunters get to wear protective shell suits that last for twelve and a half minutes. When one of the Brotherhood is forced out of the corporation and becomes one of the hunted, he gives them secrets that evens the odds.This is a low budget film shot in North Carolina. While the acting is better than most low budget indies, it is still Asylum grade. Perhaps a low budget SyFy film would be the best way to describe the quality. The production is formulaic as you know where it goes and unfortunately it takes too long to get there, leaving me a bit bored along the way. Kudos for what they did on their budget, but they needed to beef up the film more with decent dialogue. Crystal Largen is not Jennifer Lawrence. Fighting choreography was weak.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

2052. The Brother of Mars Corporation sponsors the hunting of humans for sport in the bleak future. Corporate employee Morgan Farber (a fine and credible performance by David Stephens) finds himself put into the game after he speaks out against it. To better his chances of survival, Farber forms an uneasy alliance with a primitive tribe known as the Garbage People. Director Matthew B. Moore, working from a tight and gripping script by Adam Ross, relates the absorbing story at a snappy pace, maintains a tough'n'gritty tone throughout, stages the exciting action set pieces with skill and aplomb, builds a good deal of tension, and further spices things up with nice moments of inspired offbeat humor. The solid acting from the competent cast helps a whole lot: Crystal Largen scores a bull's eye with her strong portrayal of fierce and wily warrior woman Naomi, Paul Shaw does well as the surly and sarcastic Tavis, Darren Dalton cuts an imposing figure as the fearsome Mayor Paulo, LaMyra Kinzer contributes an impressive turn as the formidable Miss Kelly, and Alexander Isaiah Thomas amuses as naive and reluctant wimpy kid Cory. The outbursts of savage violence pack a pretty nasty punch. The CGI effects are real neat. Jeremy Hyler's sharp cinematography provides a cool bright and stylish look. Jim Boitnott's energetic score and the roaring rock soundtrack both hit the right-on pumping spot. An extremely fun flick.
