I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
View MoreAll that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MorePLOT SPOILERS Steve Austin simply can't act outside of a "wrastling" ring. He really stank up the movie along with a bad script. Austin plays a border patrol guard in Texas and his partner gets killed in a Meth lab raid. Some Mexican steals Austin's wallet and claims he never forgets a face. Other than the watch with a 50 foot rope wrist band, this really isn't part of the movie as the next thing we know Austin is in Montana living in the woods, chomping on grizzly burgers while his daughter hates him, but we get that information more from the DVD box than we do the script or acting.Meanwhile in Reno, a group of thieves, who are not Mexican drug dealers, steal some unmarked bonds. One of the thieves double crosses the rest and heads to Montana of all places so he can walk miles (and days) through the woods to the Canadian border (HEY! Park a little closer next time!) Now it just so happens he is carrying a tracking device so the other crooks can follow him. While this gang of crooks is in town, they force Austin and his daughter to guide them through the woods. How they knew this guy took off on foot, I don't know as he left the tracking device in an abandon vehicle on the road.The gang of crooks are not too bright and always in disagreement. At some point in time Austin is shot, falls off a mountain side and washes up on First Blood beach. He then finds a hunter's pack with a cross bow and carves out perfectly straight arrows and even attaches feathers from...? At night he puts black shoe polish under his eyes (shiny bald head is not an issue) and by day (when he really needs the polish) the shoe polish is all gone.If bad acting, corny lines, and the stupidity of the script doesn't bother you, go ahead. No sex or nudity. Drops f-bomb. I recommend you watch "The Expendables" instead.
View MoreA lot of people hate this movie because it has no authenticity, but it is a typical old school arnold, sly, or even charles bronson typish movie. Basically, there's a bad guy he hurts the good guy in some way and then a huge fight ensues in the finale followed by the good guy winning. A lot of of old school type of aspects in this movie because of the way it follows the typical type of genre. I do enjoy these kinds of movies because we don't see much of them anymore. So, I will continue to watch these for as long as people end up making them. Also, you have to keep in mind if it wasn't for those old school actors none of these movies would have been made.
View MoreThis was broadcast on the Syfy channel for some strange reason . I say that because it has no science fiction angle to it whatsoever . Perhaps the nearest connection to sci-fi it has is the casting of Eric Roberts which DOCTOR WHO fans will remember as having played the Master in the rather disappointing American TVM from 1996 . In fact casting Roberts in itself seems rather tenuous and cynical in that he appears in the opening pre-credits sequence where he is killed off . It's certainly a shock to see his character die but you're also left thinking this is a play on the audience and he'll suddenly reappear in an important scene later on . This doesn't in fact happen which is a great shame because the surviving cast aren't really enough to carry the film The story plays out in a predictable manner . A bunch of desperate , violent crooks get doubled crossed and need to quickly cross the rural border in to Canada . Desperate crooks require desperate methods and who better to guide them to the border than a good family man who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time . The story is very similar to the 1993 Stallone film CLIFFHANGAR so much so that it even has a loud mouthed Brit as one of the baddies . The problem is that you're reminded of the big budget Stallone flick the more you realise how low budget and unthrilling HUNT TO KILL is which is standard straight to DVD fare . It also contains a streak of meaness to the way the characters interact and this is not a selling point
View MoreI wanna keep it short. I could not finish the movie, and I've seen a lot of bad movies, but finished them. The story, the acting ....everything is just so low....wasting lifetime.I would give a Zero if possible. Actually, I always wonder what Steve Austing is doing in movies, he is a bad actor. Even in Expendables he was just so bad, but we didn't have to watch him too often. In this movie, he is like a toast with two legs...or whatever. Everything what has two legs could play his role. I always thought movies from Dwayne Johnsen are bad..But at least his miming is interesting. So, keep it short: I hope you don't waste your time with this movie
