In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Crap parts of this movie as well the above- no bank robbery.I can understand why Lawson doesn't drive across the border- what one border notices him as possibly wanted for other crimes and he's stuffed.Criminals don't usually intentionally go to police stations for any reason- instant draw attention to yourself- one minute after they left country police dispatcher and then a major manhunt- What the criminals couldn't find a real guide from a pub. Criminals think police are dumb. It could have been almost the same movie but Jim and his daughter got caught up while criminals have a fight with their guide.
Sorry but I have to warn you. This movie is really not worth seeing it even when you are bored and have nothing to do. I can't thing of one thing which was good. Hard to understand how it is possible that the average rating of this movie is 5.0. I would rate with something starting with -(minus) but it is not possible. Terrible and unbelievable actors, action scenes and just everything. The only thing which is going to save this movie (even not that) is to take it as a parody to action movies of this type. There are not many things in the movie which make sense. I was trying to give this movie a chance but it was lost time. Don't make the same mistake as I did!!!
A real stinker, albeit not without one or two gratuitous moments of untimely satisfaction. We open up with a scene, where Jim Rhodes (Steve Austin) from the Mexican border patrol police, just days before moving up North to the Canadian side, loses his partner Lee Davis (Eric Roberts) in a bust gone awry. Normally such an event is introduced to have some significant influence on future events, but in "Hunt to Kill" the death of Lee seems to be utterly inconsequential.No matter. Jump forward several years and Jim Rhodes is hiking it out on the Canadian border, a bona fide Rambo with a badge. After the best part of the movie: the opening credits, we suddenly get thrown into a money heist led by Banks (Gil Bellows), who has an odd case of on-and-off insanity. After being made over by one their own Lawson (Michael Hogan) they follow him up North to track him down in the wilderness. There they kill a random sheriff and then take Jim and his daughter hostage to initiate a chain of events, which gets multiple people killed for no good reason.Where to start? Characters are all over the place, lacking any sense of coherence to there actions. Save for one or two of the supporting cast motivations, personal traits and situational reactions are incoherent and change from scene to scene. Much has to do with the fact, that no plausible story is really created, hence situations are created at random to forward the story. From incredulous scene to abysmally moronic scene we wander with the plot into the US-Canadian forest areas, where Steve Austin ultimately goes postal.Jim Rhodes himself, however likable he may be, fails to ignite a strong lead, instead falls flat due to lack of proper exposure to his actions and reactions. One of special note is the ruthless skewing of two of the kidnappers, despite the fact that their only true crime was following around the mental Banks. Yes, they stole money, but you got the feeling that the punishment far outdid the actual crime and you honestly start thinking that Rhodes should be imprisoned for his wanton vigilantism.On the plus side the movie gives a good dosage of laughs thanks to some sixty-feet watch-rope (watch it to believe it), goodies like composite bows hanging randomly on a tree, appallingly hilarious one-liners and an end scene to die laughing for (when finally Rhodes declares that he hunts to kill!). The longer the movie goes the funnier it gets and I for one can say that those kinds of movies can be really entertaining. An additional bonus are some exquisite location shots of the foresty highlands areas.
Just watched this movie and had to write a small review on it. This movie in short is a straight forward action flick with a thin plot line. Now that doesn't make it bad. The acting however, wasn't bad either. Even the use of Rambo sound and action feeling seemed to work out well.However the movie contains an incredible amount of flaws. Not just a couple you can overlook, but it looks like they shoot every scene and before doing that they think about changing things all over. Mistakes like weapons not having a magazine in them and without a blink they have :S. Other mistakes include the main villain suddenly having a revolver instead of a silenced pistol (where did he get that, and what has happened to the previous gun), bullet holes that are on different places then the hole in the shirt, rock climbing up on a totally different place of where he falls down even if he couldn't even move. Just named a few, but i can assure you that there are just too many to be named.All in all it's a decent action movie, however the amount of flaws won't pull it higher than a 5/10.
