It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

Unless you are a deeply dedicated fan of one of the "stars" in this film, you will, like me, be sorely disappointed, I'm sure.The flick fails on every score, from the dull cinematography, to the wooden stilted acting and posing, to the amateur dialogues, to the hapless direction and silly music choices.After reading a few reviews on this site, I thought I'd be in for an action treat, at least a clever thriller movie, but I was let down dreadfully.Well, I paid only a couple dollars for this at a charity shop, so I don't have any regrets, apart from my time wasted trying to watch it!

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.

This is a film with action!!!...it has a story?....it has actors that do the gym and show you how fit they are!!!...they look mean....they look right into the camera lens...there is also some comedy...some nice shots of the countryside...even some "sex" to a small degree thanks to Dominika (Emilie Ullerup)...but i have to be honest, the guy that made this film must think the punters that are going to the flicks to see this, or at worse pay good money to buy the DVD version is a joker in the first degree...a very slow and predictable start...watch carefully as you see the main man Jim Rhodes (Steve Austin) is given a wrist watch, "it will help you out one day"...so to insult us viewers we see him use this strap to abseil down a 150' rock face...and by the time he is at the bottom its a climbing rope...come on we are not stupid....then muscle man Austin falls down another rock face....only to climb back up with no significant injuries...i never did understand why the double-crossing bad boy Lawson (Michael Hogan) went on foot into the wood...he has a vehicle....then he throws the stash away down the cliff....for all to see....so to sum up...it is a "B" movie which has some action but a weak story line that ends up very predictable...Banks (Gill Bellows)gets run over...don't waste you cash...go buy a burger...it wont leave a bad taste in your mouth afterwards...
