"Surviving the game", is the kind of film that you will definately watch again, and again, once you get the courage to watch it for the first time. An action film with an all star cast of "Ice-T", "Rutgaer Hauer", Charles S. dutton", "John C. McGinley", "William McNamara", "Gary Busey" and "F. Murray Abraham"Set in the wilderness of the U.S. Ice-T plays a down and out living on the streets given a chance at a job by a project worker if he passes the interview. He does and gets taken out to the wildeness where he is told they are going to hunt the next day, to his horror he finds out the next morning that he is to be the hunted and sets off into the woods with a head start of the time it takes the rest of the men to have breakfast. A film with running, jumping, hiding, tricking, shooting, and killing. Not exactly a big budget affair, but it doesn't need to be as it works out fine as it is, which is thoroughly entertaining, and will keep you gripped the whole way through.
Advantages: A full game that is played somewhat well, but? Disadvantages: ? the movie is the closest among the four to other horror movies
...end up having better lives?
- How many people were sacrificed just to let someone else learn something? Is the number big enough to condemn Jigsaw?
Contrary to what you might think here, none of these questions is rhetorical, and you will have to watch the four Saw movies to know the answers. I know I should have done this after reviewing Saw IV, but I didn't do them in the correct order for sometimes I cannot control my moods. You can take a look at the other reviews if need be. Enjoy watching, and don't complicate things as I do. Oh, before I forget, the most important question would be:
- Do you qualify to be one of Jigsaw's players in his little survivalgame? And what are you willing to give to stay alive?

Plot: When Mason is hired by a group of hunters, little does he realise that he's the prey... but now he's about to wage a one-man war against the men who've paid thousands for the pleasure of killing him.
DVD Description
Six sportsmen, ranging from an ex-CIA agent to a Wall Street tycoon, ask a homeless and penniless man Mason (Ice T) to lead them on a hunting expedition through the woods of the Pacific Northwest. However, the moment the men are isolated in the wild country, and their high-powered guns are loaded, Mason immediately becomes their prey in a vicious and twisted game of man versus man. A taut action movie with good performances. Music by Stewart Copeland.
