A
convicted murderer
named James Earl
Cash is scheduled
to be executed by
lethal injection,
but a wealthy psycho
with an unquenchable
craving to film
his own real 'snuff'
films has other
plans.
Prison guards and
executioners have
been paid to merely
sedate Cash and
deliver his 'body'
to a remote, decrepit,
gang filled neighborhood
that has been wired
with closed circuit
video recorders.
There, by way of
a radio earpiece,
Cash will be told
what to do: kill
every hostile gang
member as brutally
as possible.

In
this fiendishly,
masterfully rendered
and animated story
by the notorious
Rockstar Games,
adult Playstation
or XBox video gamers
with a fondness
for the grue of
Kill Bill or Friday
the 13th can participate
first hand in a
shocking display
of carnal destruction.
To their credit,
Rockstar has rigged
the game so that
Cash protects the
innocent (grudgingly)
and rains death
down on only the
most violent scum
of the earth. Watching
how many ways Cash
can off his racist,
thuggish enemies
is part of the twisted
fantasy fun of Manhunt.
