Movie Info

When drifter Adrian (Eric Roberts) strikes up a conversation with a man named Jack (Lance Henriksen) one night in a restaurant off the main road, Jack uneasily agrees to give Adrian a lift. As the two drive, Adrian starts making Jack increasingly uncomfortable by repeatedly alluding to a secret Jack is keeping. Meanwhile, news reports are spreading about a vicious murderer known as The Hatchet Man -- who seems to be committing crimes wherever Adrian and Jack turn up.

Audience Reviews for The Nature of the Beast

  • Feb 01, 2009
    Did you ever see somebody hitchhiking and wonder if the was out of his mind? Did you ever wonder what sort of person would pick up a hitchhiker? I do. And I have also frequently wondered what would happen if one screwhead picked up another. <I>Hatchet Man></I> explores this question. Lance Herniksen is cast in his most interesting role as a con artist who picks up a psychopathic killer played by Eric Roberts in this bizarre story about madness and excess.
