Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Stop me if you've heard this plot before. A soldier is charged with a crime he didn't commit and is sent to jail. There he's offered his freedom if he plays a game of survival that is also a hit TV show. He must survive, out in an arena of sorts, while being stalked by a group of deadly killers. Meanwhile a woman uncovers the information that he's been framed. He turns the tables on the stalkers one by one and makes it to the end after having proved his innocence.That's right, it's "The Running Man" or as this movie would like to think something really original. the original Turkey Shoot was a low budget movie where in a fascist world, a group of prisoners who are beaten and tortured by their guards are given the option of playing a game to regain their freedom. But whereas that was kinda fun in a very low budget way, this just feels derivative in a really low budget way.Dominic Purcell plays the main character with all the charm and nuance of a side of beef. I don't think there's one point where he shows a genuine emotion unless it's blank rage. Some of the original cast from the 1982 version show up in cameos like Steve Railsback, the hero of the original, is now one of the killers. It's kinda fun to see them knowing their history but it gets old rather quickly.There's just no reason for this movie to have been made. It's a remake that steals practically everything from another movie in an attempt to be a little more original than the original one was.

This movie gave me a migraine as you will see every single plot turn coming your way. Filmed with what I assume a low budget; rip off of The Hunger Games, Hostel, Death Race, and MANY more (excellent films comparatively). It is a run of the mill "fight for your life because you're actually innocent" plot. It's a real shame seeing Dominic Purcell go from a great actor in many fabulous films / television shows, to this cruddy script. You can do SO much better as you've proved time and again in the past.I'm left wishing I had read the reviews prior to watching this, would have saved me a hour of thinking "What the heck were they thinking?"Do yourself a favor and do not bother with this low- budget inferior boring movie.

Whilst we are in the season of remakes galore, i stumbled across this remake of the original turkey shoot. Whilst this movie does try to do good and stick to a well known story of person gets caught, person get sent to prison, corrupt officials put person into TV game show for ratings, it just feels well lacking. it does pay homage to some of the originals characters ie thatcher the main antagonist in the original and to actor steve railsback it also is showing the original playing on a TV actually in the movie but no where near as good. go see the original turkey shoot, very controversial and was an R20 when it came out and was extremely violent.

I rate it 9. It does not get a 10 because he handed over the micro SSD to that random woman in the crowd.Anyway: it's a funny movie. The plot is completely surreal. A good guy incarcerated for killing women and children (whom he actually tried to save) fights his way out of jail on a TV show. With a happy ending, for once.Here and there there we find little things belonging elsewhere, from Snatch to Porco Rosso. That makes it even more fun.The acting is thoroughly consistent. Among the best, the 2 announcers of the show. Totally out of reality.It "stays together" very well for being a retarded action packed splatter movie.I believe the first effort in judging any movie should go into understanding what you are watching.
