The Pest Movie Review 1996

Movie certainly lives up to its title. A hyperkinetic Leguizamo stars as Pestario (Pest) Vargas, a small-time Miami con man, who owes 50 large to the mob. Eccentric German businessman Gustav Shank (Jones) offers the money to Pest--the catch being that Pest will become the human prey for Gustav's private island hunting party. You'll be rooting for the hunter.
