Get Duked!

"Shoddy watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. I generally like Eddie Izzard, and this is such a great concept. The idea of taking the undesired population and culling them through hunting / bloodsport is not new ("Battle Royal", "Ready or Not", "Would You Rather", "Thirty One"), I do feel like this opportunity is squandered a bit. This is also not the only movie where someone is hunted through the highlands ("A Lonely Place to Die"), but this is the only movie I can think of that basically makes the Scottish Highlands look at the place from "The Hill Have Eyes", good old red neck American style. And there are plenty of idiot characters and movies filled with idiot characters. One would think that having these morons in such a life threatening situation would make it dramatic or at least give the movie so weight. Unfortunately, something about the movie makes me feel like I shouldn't take it seriously, so I know they're not in real danger, and knowing that they're going to win with no casualities, just makes them idiots doing stupid things, and there was no point in setting them in the highlands in the first place."
