Rogue Male

Was hopping around IMDB and I saw Benedict C was remaking this movie, so I checked it out.

Reads like a fantastic mix by Rudyard Kipling and Frederick Forsyth. I'm talking The Jackal here.

That's how you advance your acting career properly, don't only do romantic comedies or you'll get pigeon holed.

I'm watching Lucky Romance, but I dislike it terribly, only here for one actor and they have given him a too small role to shine in, grief. The main actor and actress are unlikable for me, pity does not mean love, and their romantic chemistry is ?. No sparks at all. Check out my T.V blog. 

SPOILERS - Rogue Male starts with a hunter and an abstract question, can I aim at the dictator with my rifle without getting caught, forget about actually pulling the trigger, is there a chance I can hunt the tiger without being eaten alive? Of course the dude has a backstory and he is seeking vengeance. But it is the aftermath of his failed attempt that truly pulls us into the story. Now a fugitive from all governments including his own,  ( cause it was an unsanctioned hit on the leader of a country, this is why we can't clean up certain existing monsters ) he decides to go to ground in his own hometown. Well, how long can you hide when the world is looking for you? Enough plot reveals, read this.

Author confirmed he was talking about Hitler, but the book was written without naming any people or places. Imagination is a gift. Use it.

There are two films from 1977 and 1941.
