A weird adaptation of the story, The Most Dangerous Game, this is a film featuring Ice-T’s dramatic take on a homeless man hunted by the social elite. Surviving the Game is not the best thriller out on the market but it’s certainly one of the most absurd films in early 90’s existence. Ice-T plays Jack Mason, a homeless man down on his luck with suicidal thoughts plaguing his every day. Jack makes a deal with Thomas Burns (Rutger Hauer), an American businessman who hires Mason as a hunting guide for a very expensive/suspicious adventure in a patch of abandoned woods. What transpires is the hunt designed by Doc Hawkins (Gary Busey) – an all-out manhunt for Jack Mason’s life and a challenge over who’s going to survive the weirdest unnecessary game.
