One of countless remakes of The Most Dangerous Game (1932), Run for the Sun throws a curve ball or two to stand apart from the rest. But does it do it any favors?
The original tale is that of a hunter who becomes marooned on an island. He's taken in by a mysterious man but quickly finds himself the prey. Here instead we see a man and a woman involved in a plane crash, they're saved but their saviors may not be who they claim to be.
I quite liked the twist, I loved the big revelation monologue, but sadly the movie has pacing issues, a rather mundane cast and really really drags.
Normally I have issue with them tweaking the source material, here I don't. I just don't think it was very successful.
For fans of the original I'd say, stick with the original.
The Good:
One great scene
Interesting spin on the original story
The Bad:
Drags
