Benutzerrezensionen

Every aspect of this film was hilarious, thus why I'm voting it the funniest comedy of the year. From the laughable choice of color palettes and terrible cinematography, to the annoying score, and the cringeworthy predictable and cliche-riddled screenplay. I'll even say this nonsense qualifies for a Razzie Award. Apparently Elizabeth Blake-Thomas is an award winning director, yet this mess could've been filmed better by a fifth grade drama class.

The action choreography will fill you will eyerolls and cringeworthy laughs, and Blake-Thomas clearly doesn't know how to direct her cast either, because most of the actors seemed like this was their first rodeo. I felt bad for the lovely Mena Suvari having to endure this amateur-hour nonsense, but I feel even worse for the legendary Mickey Rourke, who seemed like he regretted being in this mess, especially towards the end when they had pink blush on his nose and cheeks to make him look like a clown.

The story itself showed promise, but the terrible filmmaking made this a comedy, instead of how it's listed as an action thriller, because the action was the funniest parts, and the thrills were cringeworthy eyerolls. Even at a mere 80 min runtime, the terrible pacing made this feel never-ending. Even the opportunities to have some decent gore effects felt like props and fake blood you'd buy at a Dollar store on Halloween. I'm giving this mess a generous 3/10 for the laughs, and out of pity for the cast who tried their best with the nonsense they had to work with. Even if you're a fan of any of the cast, do yourself a favor and forget this garbage exists.

This movie has a decent storyline, but definitely could've been written better for sure. The acting is absolutely horrible in every sense of the word. The action scenes are so bad you can tell there's no physical contact during actual fight scenes. This movie seems to have been put together by a bunch of amateurs. As far as the story goes it seems to have a tons of gaps in the story itself. Not to mention all the cheap "blood" and special effects. The blood literally looks like red paint. I laughed through most of this movie simply because of how bad it is. Don't bother wasting your money or time on this movie at all. And Please don not make a sequel!!!

This movie is effectively the same movie as Death Hunt, also released the same year. This has a few small twists on the Most Dangerous Game formula, mostly bringing in a third party instead of just making the protagonist able to turn the tables.

It held attention fairly well, but it also felt cheaper than it should have. Blood looked poorly done. Injuries looked especially fake.

But the movie gets more silly than it should once things kick in for the third act. There's way too much quipping. This is a common problem, and it makes me cringe every time I hear one of these lines, knowing that the writer thought this was the right way to lead into a kill.

It's nice to see Mena Suvari having a bit of fun with an action-heavy role.

I couldn't say it's any good for someone who wants to value their time, but it's a thoroughly decent movie to eat snacks to.

Well this COULD have been a good movie. But it's not even close.

The director has no clue how to direct a movie and keep the action movie forward. It's just so slow you'll be nodding out.

Next, the hunt male characters are so thinly drawn you'll find them annoying at best. IF you can get past the absolutely horrible acting.

Mickey Rourke is unrecognizable. His face literally looks like he's wearing a mask. I'm not kidding. It looks like you can pull it off like a plastic Halloween mask.

Mena seems to want to prove she is overrated as an actress. All of the acting is dismal.

Throw in a bunch of stupid poorly written toxic masculinity BS and you have the biggest bomb of the year on your hands.

I am convinced this movie is meant to be humorous. I am also wondering whether Mickey Rourke took the job as a favor to someone else. I had read that Mena Suvari had been through a rough time -having overcome a struggle with addiction. Perhaps, she merely needed to get back to work. Perhaps she owed a favor to others in this production (filmed in Mississippi-another strange aspect of this film). Something tells me that the backstory would be more more entertaining than the movie.

All I can really say is that the movie is entertaining enough and stars 2 very accomplished actors in Mena Suvari and Mickey Rourke. I would not pay extra to watch it but it was available as part of my regular Prime subscription. No one should take this movie very seriously.

As the majority of reviewers here have pointed out, this film has strong echoes of films that have been done earlier and better. It reminded me of those old low budget women in prison movies shot in the Philippines - the only difference being the women in this film get to keep their bras and panties on.

Written by two men, it's supposed to be a feminist thriller. And that calls to mind the 1982 "feminist" slasher film The Slumber Party Massacre by Rita Mae Brown, which was ironically loaded with t'n'a and other sexist standard conventions. But at least that film matched the quality of films in its genre.

Hunt Club pulls its punches. While there's plenty of spilled blood, we're spared some of the gory kills, probably due to budgetary limitations.

The costumes do stand out, but not in a good way. When the two male leads first appeared, I thought they were dressed for some Lone Ranger and Tonto cowboy and Indian cosplay. And both male and female actors are decked out in the gaudiest cowboy boots imaginable. I kept thinking it had to be a "perk" for the stars.

The script is structurally sound but the story lacks the kind of Death Wish credibility that makes reenge films work and the cliched dialog isn't helped by the pretentious references to ancient mythology. The plot is paper thin and its premise is ludicrous. The characters are preposterous.

I feel sorry for Mena Suvari. I'm sure she had high expectations for this, based on the director's stated objective to make meaningful films. And I have to wonder about who runs the show at Uncork'd. The quality of their movies is all over the place.

It's nothing spectacular, the story has been done many times like in "Ready or not" and "the hunt". Those two films are entertaining and well directed. This is just a low budget rip off of said films with terrible fight scenes where people are punched from a meter away and take the hit like we aren't meant to notice they have just punched thin air. So even though I have given it 4 stars for the poor acting and lack of original story it is watcheable and if you have watched the two I mentioned already and looking for something to pass the time then this passes the time but the story is as expected. Nothing happens that isn't already mentioned in the films plot description.

One of the worst movies I've seen. Terrible acting. Storyline been done a million times. Premise is ridiculous and unbelievable. Truly awful movie. Director and producer should probably try something else with their lives.

Seems like some woman was cheated on by a couple guys so she hates all men and pretends in her head that she could beat up a man.

All these women in this movie couldn't beat up a 6 year old boy.

Using washed up old actors is usually a sign that the movie story line was too stupid to be bid on my actual movie studios. Did Madonna make this movie? She finally figure out she's washed up and undesirable by men.

This "B" movie draws its source material from the famous, and often repeated, "The Most Dangerous Game. The movie does not do a lot to disguise this premise early on, although it may not be known to the victims. The movie is not nearly as good as the plagued "The Hunt" from 2020. That movie is really well done and engaging. This Ione is watchable as long as you ignore the horrible dialogue and cheesy characters. It is violent and crazy, but I do think they make the film. The visuals are comic book like and do evidence a low budget. There is an attempt to work a Tarantino-ish twist and "Kill Bill" female empowerment into the tale. If you take it as Homage it fairs better than an attempt for originality. Mean Suva is a weak spot in this one.

It is enjoyable and satisfying. Its a solid B/B- revenge flick. The writing isn't groundbreaking and its fairly predictable. The acting isn't amazing...honestly its kinda bad but it isn't the worst movie either. Its not particularly deep or well though out but if you like something relatively fast-paced where you don't have to d a lot of thinking this is the movie for you! Cassandra remarks that she could be Jackson's mom even though he looks older than her and about the same age as the guy who plays his dad. The action sequences look a little poorly put together and there is no real gore in the more. All the stabbing, shooting etc happen slightly off screen but there is plenty of fake looking blood. Its kitschy, like i said I enjoyed it just don't think too hard about it.

Follows a group of male hunters who regularly lure women to their island with the chance to win 100K in a hunt, only to discover that they are the hunted, but this time they mess with the wrong girls and must deal with the consequences.

I should have know better because movie like this and with actors like wanna be casper van dien is doomed like ... Oh my god this is a very bad movie and also hilarious. What were they trying to proof. Why is it that people make movies like this. For me it was done after 10 minutes and the last 7 minutes I was writing this review. Vasper please go the doctor and let them check out your lings and throat because you will find out that smoking cigars is bad for your health. Lets not forget about Mickey watching him and listening to what is coming out of his mouth does hurt. Please man it is ok rhst you stop have a good one and never show your face ever again because someone should protect you because the directors are using you and ask for a refund at your local hospital for a plastic surgery gone wrong. It is not very esthetic to look at this guy ever again in a movie.

I rarely score films so low.

But this film deserves it.

How did it get made?

The script is simply the worst. And been told a thousand times (way better).

The worst fight choreography I've seen in many years.

So unbelievably poor. Bad cheap FX. And the worst almost purple looking blood.

The acting is low level and as expected from the cast and also those slumming it (once kinda credible) actors Casper and Mena. How they were tempted by this car crash of a film I do not know. Maybe the producers have incriminating photos of them. Ha ha.

Mickey Rourke looks like he has melted. And his acting, shocking. He looks like a monster from another horror film and just strolled onto set.

Nothing about this film is good.

Absolutely nothing.

The music sucks. The FX suck. The script is the worst and the forced man hating feminist garbage is cliché to the extreme.

Caspers character is so flawed and his weak son who can't act for toffee too.

The Goddess of the Hunt nonsense made my eyes roll so far back into my head I could see my brain. Which was screaming for me to turn it off.

All involved with this film should take a long hard look in the mirror and consider a career change.

You clearly do not have the skills. I'm embarrassed for you.

Worst film I have seen in years.

The film "Hunt Club" (2022) presents itself as a social critique disguised as a thriller, but its true merit gets lost in a biased and superficial portrayal of characters. With a premise revolving around wealthy male hunters who become prey for a group of vengeful women, the film seems intended to critique misogynistic behavior and gender inequality. However, the execution of this critique is so unbalanced that it undermines the message it aims to convey.

One of the most problematic aspects of "Hunt Club" is its portrayal of white men. The narrative appears to treat all white men as inherently toxic and criminal, reducing them to one-dimensional stereotypes. The attempt to create a clear moral divide between "the hunters" and "the hunted" results in a caricature of white masculinity, ignoring the complexity and diversity of individuals within this group.

The film also fails to create multifaceted characters, instead resorting to stereotypes. The black character, who is excessively critical of white men, is portrayed in a caricatured and reductionist manner. Instead of exploring the nuances of the struggle against racism and inequality, she is depicted as simply "bad-mouthing" white men, which dehumanizes her motivations and feelings.

Similarly, the lesbian character who tries to convince the gay son of the leader to be who he truly is represents diversity in a forced manner. Rather than promoting an authentic discussion on identity and acceptance, this character is used as a narrative device to reinforce a specific point of view, ignoring the complexity of individual experiences.

The old man, who combines characteristics of Silvio Santos and a transvestite, is an example of how the film resorts to superficial stereotypes instead of creating meaningful and respectful representation. This approach not only disrespects those who might be represented by this character but also perpetuates the idea that gender identity and appearance can be treated lightly.

"Hunt Club" fails in its attempt to address serious social issues through a plot laden with stereotypes and prejudices. The attempt to critique toxic behaviors and inequalities is undermined by a biased and superficial portrayal of characters. Instead of offering a critical reflection on power dynamics and gender, the film opts for a sensationalist approach that reinforces the very prejudices it seeks to combat.

For a film that aims to tackle such relevant themes, "Hunt Club" misses the opportunity to foster meaningful discussion, delivering instead a distorted and problematic view of society. If the intention was to provoke reflection, the result is a film that, unfortunately, only contributes to division and stereotyping.

Mena Suvari puts in a solid performance in this and her superior acting ability is quite apparent throughout the film.

A fairly "basic" premise, but it didn't need to be anything special.

The film is surprisingly well shot but Dialogue is amateur-ish at times.

(There's also someone labelled as "Scotland" whose accent can only be described as Irish-via-Vladivostok. Truly dreadful.)

Despite what I can only assume was a relatively low budget, the film looks good and is enjoyable enough.

Just don't expect much originality or to have your mind blown.

Goof: Keep an eye open for the very obviously breathing "body" around the 1hr mark. The cameraman must've spotted it and swings upwards rather sharply! :D.

No pun intended - someone is on a mission, even if we may not know from the start, but I was expecting something like that. I reckon if you have seen enough movies, sometimes you can have a good guess ... and be right about it). That all said, the movie is I reckon quite decent - if you have low expectations. And if you are happy to see some of the actors.

Hunt club tries to capture the magic of quite a few other movies (be it Surviving the Game, Hard Target and many more) and make something good out of it. I would argue it does not really succeed entirely, but you may feel differently. Some of the actors are known as already stated, but if you don't like the script them being added, won't really help ... skip then instead of getting angry with the movie.

The Most Dangerous Game was a short story released in 1924. It has many incarnations in moviedom and this may very well be one of the worst. Even The Hunt, 2020, which was pretty bad was better than this.

The writing was not good. The acting was poor. Roark and Dien gave a performance that would make you think it was their first film ever. Perhaps Rourke was upset because they didn't bring him back for The Expendables 4 If you're interested in the genre movie you'd be better off looking up Van Damme's Hard Target from 1993

This movie represents a new low for Mickey Rourke and Casper Dien.

On the other hand it's not bad enough to turn it off and go to something else.

This movie premise adds nothing new to the hunting humans genre, but it's certainly watchable and not as ppl are saying. That being said I would highly recommend The Hunt because it's 10x better. I even liked The Furies more even though it's has incredibly low budget. Surviving The game and Ready or Not is fantastic. So take it or leave it, 🤷 you've already seen it 😂 and you've seen it much much more well done 🤦The acting is fine and there are some good kills. The opening scene grabs you right away, and the pacing is well done.... Mina Sevaris girlfriend is the star of this one and the Men are are good villains. If you have seen all the better versions of this too many times I'd say give it a go.

Well, I can't claim that I was harboring much of any expectations to this 2022 movie titled "Hunt Club", as I sat down to watch it here in 2023. In fact, I had not even heard about the movie prior to stumbling upon it by random chance.

I opted to watch "Hunt Club" because it was a movie I hadn't already seen, but also because Casper Van Dien was on the cast list.

Writers David Lipper and John Saunders put together a fairly straightforward storyline and script here. However, "Hunt Club" failed bring anything new or innovative to the genre of people hunting people for sport. What you see in this movie has already been seen and done in other similar movies. But hey, at least that makes "Hunt Club" a somewhat familiar viewing, I suppose. The movie's narrative was generic and rather predictable. But it still made for an adequate enough viewing experience the one and only time you will watch it. Yeah, there isn't much contents to the script or storyline to support more than a single viewing.

The acting performances in "Hunt Club" were fair enough, and there were some familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Mena Suvari, Casper Van Dien, Mickey Rourke, Jason London and Jeremy London. Personally, I don't understand why Mickey Rourke gets casted for movies, as he is stripped for acting talent and his mere appearance sort of introduces a Frankenstein element into the narrative. It was, however, fun to see the London twins in roles such as they portrayed in "Hunt Club", just a shame they didn't have more time on the screen.

"Hunt Club" is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, nor is it a movie that I will actively recommend people to go out and get to watch.

My rating of director Elizabeth Blake-Thomas's 2022 movie "Hunt Club" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
