The hunting people on an island theme has been so overdone that I don't usually bother with the genre. But this one had Casper Van Dien and Mickey Rourke, so I thought I'd give it a chance. Bad mistake.
I don't think the rest of this actually qualifies as a spoiler, but out of an abundance of caution:
Spoiler alert
The first half of the movie was nothing but generic incel drivel that could easily have been copied verbatim from any number of Twitter threads or YouTube comment sections. Given that the premise of the movie was so-called "alpha males" hunting women, misogyny was expected from the bad guys. However, this was not only eye-rollingly bad, but dragged on way too long.
And there are so many things in this movie that are just .. stupid is the only word that truly fits. They made a big deal about the masks on the wall of the lodge but no one ever wore them. They kept showing close-ups of cameras ("camouflaged" with what looked like the really fake plastic ivy your grandma drapes over the mantle at Christmas) in the woods, but no one ever watched the monitors. Despite being really busy running around in the forest being the hunted/hunter, the protagonist's outfit kept inexplicably changing. My eight and nine year old nephews had better fight choreography when they played pro-wrestler/Godzilla in the backyard. There are lots of deadly traps in the woods even though there are a number of first time hunters and dogs running around that could just as easily spring them as the hunted (not to mention that using such traps would pretty much defeat the purpose of the hunters proving that they were stronger/smarter/ faster/whatever than their prey). The heroes kept using the "Let's split up! It'll be faster!" plot device with predictable results.
Basically, the plot, dialogue, and action scenes were truly awful. Don't bother.
