The Pest Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Paul Miller
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
A man discovers the lighter side of being hunted down like an animal in this manic comedy. Pestario "Pest" Vargas (John_Leguizamo) is a low-rent con man from Miami's South Beach who has fallen deeply in debt to ill-tempered members of the Scottish mafia (complete with kilts). Desperate to raise 50,000 to stave off having his legs broken (and possibly turned into haggis), Vargas takes an offer for a very high paying one day job from Gustav Shank (Jeffrey_Jones), a German businessman visiting Florida. However, it's not until later that Vargas finds out what Shank has in mind. The lunatic white supremacist Shank transports Vargas to his island compound, Little Germany, and announces that he will hunt him as wild game. If Vargas can survive for 24 hours, he gets the cash; otherwise, his head will join the others stuffed and mounted on Shank's wall. Can Vargas' speed, agility, and gift for cheesy impersonations save him now? John_Leguizamo co-wrote The Pest's original story, loosely based on the classic adventure tale The_Most_Dangerous_Game. Mark Deming, Rovi
