Bruce Willis is "Stone". He used to be a cop before a miscarriage of justice saw him serving a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit. As luck would have it, though, "Rainsford" (Neal McDonough) and his sidekick "West" (Alexia Feast) are organising a lethal man-hunt on their remote island. They decide that "Stone" would make for an ideal target so offer him his freedom if he survives - and that's a big if. What now ensues is a truly awful hash of a film that sees him wandering about the forest in an hig-vis cardigan generating about as much menace as a day in an ice cream factory. The story has elements of the far superior "The Most Dangerous Game" (1942) but is just remarkably devoid of character. The dialogue is really puerile and, to be perfectly honest, I felt that they could all have been doing with being left on the island to slaughter each other without troubling the audience at all. What is Willis doing here? He cannot need the money? His laid back, slightly sarcastic style falls completely flay and McDonough - well perhaps someone could explain to me how this ultimate in one-dimensional actors still gets work? I think "Nadir" would have been a far better title for this - it really is for all concerned.
