It looks like, after the Holidays, an action movie in the jungle without movie stars was what the world was craving, as Hard Target is on Netflix’s Top 10 in countries as different as the Bahamas, Kenya, and Croatia.
Hard Target 2 tells the story of professional MMA fighter Wes Baylor, who, after an accidental kill, exiles himself to Thailand. After a suspicious guy offers him $1 million to fight in Myanmar, he finds himself as the prey for a lethal hunt where rich people are hunting him. Can he survive alone in Myanmar’s jungle?
Although it doesn’t have anything in common with Hard Target, a 1993 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, the film is considered a sequel in name only and went direct-to-video. As so, there’s no critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and its audience score is only 19% rating.
Hard Target was directed by Roel Reiné (Halo) and starred Scott Adkins (Avengement), Robert Knepper (Prison Break), Rhona Mitra (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), Ann Truong (Cowboy Bebop), and Temuera Morrison (The Book of Boba Fett)
