Some no name guy stars as a limo driver whose gambling debts cause a bookie to send a contract killer after him. A short chase later and he winds up in a private casino being treated like royalty until he meets his host played by Billy Zane.

This next little tidbit becomes obvious exactly 3 minutes into the movie, so I don't consider it a spoiler:

This is "The Most Dangerous Game" with Billy Zane as the hunter.

To be honest, it's not a terrible film. The acting is bad. The action is a bit over the top. Is it a waste of Billy Zane? Yes.

However, it does end up being an entertaining film despite being pretty cheesy and predictable.

I really have no idea why Billy Zane hasn't become a bigger star in Hollywood, he can act circles around most people. Here, he's collecting a paycheck and it's sooooo obvious, but it's still fun to watch.

I rented it for $1 and don't regret it at all.

5 out of 10.

The guy just never did more films, particularly main stream ones.

Dead Calm
Tombstone
The Phantom
Titanic

Ever since Titanic he's been doing voiceover work and smaller films.
