Overview: A group of Vietnam veterans, still struggling with the psychological scars of war, are released from a mental institution and sent into the wilderness on a supervised camping retreat meant to help them readjust to civilian life. But the outing turns into a nightmare when a rogue paramilitary faction targets the group, hunting the unarmed veterans for sport in a twisted survival exercise.

As the men are picked off one by one, a single survivor - hardened by both combat and trauma - draws on his training to fight back. Turning prey into predator, he wages a brutal counterattack against his pursuers in a desperate bid for survival and justice.

DVD Verdict: The Most Dangerous Game meets Rambo via One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest! Now, those are all good films, (yes, even Rambo), so that might give you the impression I was intimating this was also a good film. Well, you would be wrong. Not good, but definitely entertaining. But for all the right/wrong reasons.

This is a hilarious, low-budget actioner, to be enjoyed while in the thrall of a few adult beverages. The plot is quite minimal: insane asylum inmates are hijacked in the woods for a real-life hunt by lowlife scum. Quadruple-threat (writes, directs, stars, composes/sings the title theme song) David Heavener (and I choose the word threat carefully) is a budget Rambo fighting and killing to save the noble loons. There’s even an A-Team type Time to Weld sequence. Best quote: When you kill a man, you better make sure he’s dead!

There are also - adding to the film’s overall allure - not one, but TWO former Sweathogs (that’s from the TV show Welcome Back Kotter, you young ’uns), Washington and Epstein. (What, you thought Travolta was in this thing?) DJ and voice over legend Gary Owens has a very brief role. And, most importantly, Danielle Brisebois is topless. In the water. That alone will surely attract some additional viewers to this lovable mess.

I would suggest an amazing double feature in this film first, then followed by the best/worst Die Hard rip off ever lensed, Anna Nicole Smith in Skyscraper. You’ll thank me later, as long you continue drinking throughout both films. You’ll need to, trust me on that! [S.M.]
