"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
The Pest | 1997 | PG-13 | - 3.4.3
A scam artist is picked to be the prey for a great white hunter.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Sexual innuendo (including homosexual references), kissing. A woman's bare buttocks in thong underwear, a man's bare buttocks, a nude man in a shower -- but all we see are bare chest and legs; lather is strategically placed. We get a glimpse of a video of two lions procreating with lots of thrusting.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Lots of chases, falls, punches, hits and slaps, scuffles. People are knocked out by a tranquilizer dart shot into them. A few people are knocked unconscious by loud music. Some threatening with guns and people shot at a few times. A man is hunted by two other men with guns. Decapitated "trophy" heads with gruesome expressions and some dried blood (about a dozen heads). An explosion throws a man many feet.
LANGUAGE 3 - Some mild obscenities, a couple of anatomical references, a few scatological references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Hunting, bigotry and ethnic heritage, scam artists.
MESSAGE - We shouldn't use other people.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
