“Surviving the Game” is about a homeless Seattle man named Mason, played by actor and rap artist, Ice T.
Mason no longer valued life because he lost everything he loved–his family, and friend. He attempted suicide by running in front of a vehicle, until a strange man from a soup kitchen saved his life.
Mason was very furious with the man because he felt like he had nothing to live for. The guy felt sorry for Mason and offered a job to help him get off the streets. He referred him to Thomas Burns played by, Rutger Hauer who was a business man recruiting men to become hunters.
Mason decided to check out Thomas and see what kind of money he was talking about and what the job requirements were. The job required flying to a secluded cabin in the Pacific Northwest and meeting up with the rest of the hunters. Some of the hunters had a major obsession with hunting, and took hunting very seriously.
When Thomas met with Mason he noticed that he smoked cigarettes and was concerned with Mason’s health. Mason assured him that he would do anything to get out of poverty.
After careful consideration, Thomas gave him the job. The hunters that Mason met had an obsession for hunting. They encouraged Mason to eat well, and be prepared for the hunt in the morning.
The question is, “What were they hunting”?
This is an action-packed movie, full of adventure and suspense.
