and the race is on.\u00a0 But can Sellars truly be trusted?\u00a0 What information is he hiding from Dodge&#8230; and how will that impact the game?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Most Dangerous Game<\/em> is based on the short story <em>The Most Dangerous Game<\/em> written by Richard Connell in 1924.\u00a0 It has been adapted many, many times and when done right, never gets old.\u00a0 <em>Most Dangerous Game<\/em> gets it right.\u00a0 Originally seen on the Roku channel as 7 or 8 minute episodes, it has now been compiled into a 2 hour and 7 minute film.\u00a0 Since each episode had to get the viewer to want to see the next, there are a ton of great action scenes, cliffhangers and twists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Liam Hemsworth is believable as the former athlete trying to stay alive.\u00a0 Christoph Waltz brings the right amount of cocky arrogance to his part.\u00a0 Sure, the hunters are cliches (the Englishman who plays by the rules, the martial arts chick, the cowboy, the priest, and an aging hippie), but that&#8217;s part of the fun.\u00a0 I had a blast watching <em>Most Dangerous Game<\/em> and wish more movies followed the format.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em style=\"color: var(--text-color);
