The Pest
ActionAdventureComedy84 min
John Leguizamo is Pestario “Pest” Vargas, a fast-talking Miami scammer whose debts to Scottish mobsters leave him scrambling for a way out. The offer he takes is stranger than anything he’s hustled before: spend a day and night on a remote island while wealthy hunter Gustav Shank (Jeffrey Jones), a racist German executive, tracks him for sport. What follows yanks Pest out of South Beach and into a chase where disguises, nonstop talk, and split-second improvisation are all he has to keep moving and stay alive.
