Charlie is someone Ben knew for a long time already and probably learned him some tricks of survival and how to live in the wilderness. Until the hunt ends in a catastrophe and he accidentally shoots the local desert dweller Charlie.
Madec is a typical snob who thinks everything is for sale.
In retrospect, he's also quite generous when it appears that he doesn't really have a permit to shoot down the rare animal. Madec has spared no expense for this trip and is also equipped with a Steyr Scout 308 imported from Austria. Before you know it, they are on the move in a giant fairground attraction on 6 wheels (worth $ 500,000 and imported) equipped with satellite telephone, espresso machine, microwave oven and a remote-controlled music system. He's a young guy who's well known as the best tracker in that environment. Ben (Jeremy Irvine) is hired for this task. He arrives in a tiny village along the Mojave desert to hunt a bighorn (probably a missing trophy on the wall). Madec (Michael Douglas) is a pedantic rich man with an arrogant attitude, who acts as if the whole universe turns around his own little person. But the absurd and completely messed up ending screwed it completely and made absolutely no sense. This film had a promising start with chilling tension and an acclaimed chemistry between the two main characters. This time there are no diametrically opposed camps with contrarian views. For once it's something that most film critics unanimously agree with. Unfortunately, the film collapses like a failed soufflé at the end. Only this time it's a unilateral hunt pattern that's being showed here. For "Beyond the reach" an old class act of Hollywood was recruited. It wasn't exactly an impressive film and after a while the ping-pong game between the two opponents started to irritate. Recently we saw two Hollywood stars try this theme in "Killing Season". And where I come from, a deal is a deal." It's so much fun to watch a movie in which two individuals chase each other and a cat and mouse game begins resulting in a battle to the death.
