One of the film's strongest elements is its diverse and talented cast, many of whom have since become major stars:

as Noland, a survivor who has lived on the planet for years.

as Mombasa, a soldier from a Sierra Leone death squad. Walton Goggins as Stans, a death row inmate. The Hunt: New Species of Predators

as Cuchillo, an enforcer for a Mexican drug cartel.
