Hard Target

Hong Kong director John Woo's smashing American debut is an action-packed reworking of "The Most Dangerous Game." When Chance Boudreaux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a merchant sailor living in New Orleans, is hired to help a young woman (Yancy Butler) track down her missing father, he uncovers a diabolical "contest" in which homeless Vietnam vets are hunted down and murdered by wealthy businessmen. With Lance Henriksen, Arnold Vosloo. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English.
