Fast-talking Latino con artist Pestario "Pest" Vargas is the target of Scottish mobsters to whom he owes a considerable debt. Willing to do anything to raise money and avoid severe injury or death, Vargas agrees to a very unusual job -- he will be transported to a remote island and hunted by Gustav Shank, a racist German executive. If he can survive a full day and night, Vargas gets $50,000 and will be set free. Is he wily enough to elude Shank?

John is full throttle silly. I still quote this to only 2 people, but it’s great stupid humor. Not every joke lands, but just relax n chill

I love this movie I can’t say why but I guess it’s so bad it’s good again. This is why I warn you watch but with a l train wreck mentality.

I don’t know why they even bother to make shit like this. Who in their right mind would find this funny?

What a garbage throwback haha. Seriously don’t watch this.

Funny as shit in a goofy kinda way, you'll ether like it or be annoyed as hell.

However bad you possibly can imagine this to be, it's so so much worse. Bad on every level. Seriously the worst movie I've ever seen.

This is the type of movie you saw in the bottom of the clearance bin in the video store for $1 and you still thought it was overpriced.

Seemed kinda normal when I was a little kid in the 90s. Doubt I could make it through ten minutes now.

Vaguely remember this from back when I was still renting movies from VHS stores or poss' I saw it on Sky TV? Useless anyway, not worth it!

Leguizamo is funny but the pest pesters his audience.
