Surviving the Game (1994)
Director: Ernest Dickerson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A mysterious businessman (Hauer) takes a tough, homeless man (Ice-T) from the city to the wilderness to act as prey in a deadly manhunt for a group of wealthy thrill-seekers - among them Abraham's powerful Wall Street exec and Busey's unstable CIA psychiatrist. Technically adept and capably performed, this is above average for its type (you've seen it before in The Most Dangerous Game), and though the downside is some excessive cruelty without much governing morality, that's a given in action pictures these days.Author: AO
