Scott LeBrun Stone Cold Steve Austin is in fine form here as he plays a former Border Patrol officer in Texas who loses his partner (Eric Roberts, wasted in a pre-credits cameo) in a bust gone bad. Four years later, he's working in Montana (although the movie was actually shot in British Columbia), trying to raise a rebellious teenaged daughter (Marie Avgeropoulos) as a single dad. Then the two of them are confronted by a gang of robbers, who need Stone Cold to guide them through the mountains; they're in pursuit of the robbery mastermind, who'd absconded with the loot.Frank Hannah wrote this refreshingly uncomplicated storyline, which suffers from some implausibilities, but manages to remain watchable and entertaining. At least it has a hero who takes some lumps and isn't always ten steps ahead of the bad guys the entire time. As with "The Stranger" (the last Stone Cold vehicle this viewer has seen), SC isn't the problem here. He shows poise and confidence, and can get his lines out adequately. He may not be terribly expressive, but you still have no doubt as to his ultimate ability to mess up his opponents in a major way. His somewhat antagonistic relationship with his kid is at least somewhat believable.There are not many familiar faces here, other than Stone Cold, Roberts, Gil Bellows as the main bad guy, action genre icon Gary Daniels, and veteran Donnelly Rhodes as the expendable local Sheriff. The cast is pretty nondescript, but passable; they play characters despicable enough that one is amused to see them get their just desserts. Bellows is a mild hoot; even though he's not that intimidating, he still gets turned into the kind of superhuman villain that will have to be "killed" a few times. The filmmakers might have done better to make Daniels, as the toughest of Bellows' associates, the final antagonist.The writing may have its fair share of stupidities (why is it that in so many movies of this ilk, cops NEVER wait for their backup?), but this viewer personally is able to forgive a fair bit of silliness, as long as a movie holds his attention. And "Hunt to Kill" is a fair thriller that did at least manage to do that.Six out of 10.
steve_d6 Truly awfully directed. Steve Austin brings it up to a 4 out of 10 just for being Steve Austin.Villain - bearable. Hot girls - watchable. Deaths - unrealistic.Setting - decent. Characters thought process - laughable. Ending - painful. Storyline - dull.Movie - barely watchable.Thats my views on the movie anyway. Thought there was too many stupid scenes in this movie to be considered good. *SPOILERS* Small things such as using an axe or a stick instead of guns which are in sight or even on them. Not tieing up or keeping watch on steve austin while asleep. And don't get me started on the bit where Steve was suppose to die.
Rob van Loon 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.
BklynBryanCM Hunt To Kill was 100 times better than Stone Cold's previous movie (The Stranger). I Definitely recommend Hunt To Kill to all Stone Cold fans and WWE fans. HTK is a mash-up of Cliffhanger and First Blood. You have to be patient and wait until Steve Austin starts hunting! Yes, the movie may start out slow as hell, but give it a chance. The final two fights at the end are both awesome! Director Keoni Waxman did a decent job.Steve Austin plays Jim Rhodes, who is a border patrol agent. JR (ironic that he has the same initials as Austin's real life friend Jim Ross) knows the terrain and is at home in the wilderness (Gabe Walker + John Rambo = Jim Rhodes). The film begins with partners Steve Austin and Eric Roberts about to take down a crystal meth lab. It goes wrong, and Rhodes loses his partner. FFWD >>Jim's daughter always manages to get into trouble and so she is in the sheriff's office "At The Wrong Place, At The Wrong Time." Because a small crew of criminals are after their money that went missing in the area. They need someone to guide them. Jim Rhodes gets a call from the sheriff so he heads to the office not knowing what awaits. Rhodes agrees to guide the thugs, but the main villain Banks shot the sheriff.So off they go into the woods ... One of Bank's henchmen tries to molest Jim's daughter Kim which leads to Stone Cold's first fight. It was short, but an okay skirmish none the less. The Main Bad Guy Banks is an idiot so he kills his goon (Banks will later commit another even more moronic blunder). FFWD >> They find the money and of course, GUESS WHO GOES TO GET IT? Yeah Jim Rhodes, just like Gabe Walker in CLIFFHANGER. So, Jim retrieves the $ and then Banks shoots him down into the river. Now, the young Kim Rhodes becomes the guide. So, she purposefully leads them astray.Once again, one of the goons lays a hand on Kim. Banks' female companion Dominika takes exception which leads to a scuffle between her and the goon. She kicks his ass, breaks his leg and the posse decide to leave him behind. Later on, they get hungry and guess who was carrying the food? Yep, the guy they left behind (Geary). FFWD >> Stone Cold catches up with Geary and finds out which direction they went (Austin shoots him up with arrows after wards). Austin catches up to his enemies which leads to Stone Cold Fight 2. Steve Austin vs. Gary Daniels (from The Expendables). It was a good fight scene between Jim Rhodes and Jensen. They have a stick fight or a tree branch fight. Austin finishes him off by sticking the branch through Jensen's chest and he says "Stick Around" just like Schwarzenegger did in PREDATOR. It was cool to see Austin vs. Daniels because they were on the same side in THE EXPENDABLES and now in HUNT TO KILL, they are enemies.FFWD >> Austin catches up to Banks and Dominika (last 2 villains left). J.R. throws a wooden spear at Dominika and then she is dead. So, now it is Rhodes vs. Banks, but his daughter is in the way (think Arnold vs the main villain in TRUE LIES).Banks escapes, then he pistol whips Kim and takes off on a motor bike. Austin catches up to Banks which leads to the FINAL FIGHT. The last fight is COOL. I don't want to spoil the way Jim Rhodes kills Banks, but I will say that Banks is very persistent. At the end Banks taunts Rhodes by saying "you can't kill me!, you can't kill me!!" & Austin says ... "When I Hunt, I Hunt to KILL!!!" Jim Rhodes then proceeds to kill Banks in a unique and special way! Overall I would give "Hunt To Kill" a 7 out of 10. Yeah, the budget was low and the film starts out real slow. But once Steve Austin starts hunting, the movie picks up the pace!! Hunt To Kill is > The Stranger. It is not better than Damage or The Condemned.
