The Hunt

Much more enjoyable than expected.

The beginning of it is funny enough, but it is the ensuing few scenes which are riotously HILARIOUS and make it worth watching- I literally laughed until I cried.

Toward the middle of the film, there is a wide gap where the laugh-out-loud moments are slowed and further and further apart, but still bring a smile or giggle here and there. The ending while good, is overshadowed by a preceding fight scene that is one for the books. It was really, really well done.

The best part of the entire movie though, and what makes it stand out, is that if a person watching has more than two brain cells, the dialogue is spot-on close-to-perfect in mocking BOTH SIDES of the political divide. And here, is what I think people are missing: NEITHER side is depicted as being 'better' than the other. Or worse. It has fun at the expense of everyone and it doesn't do it in any overtly mean way, but in a way where we can nod and nod and nod and laugh ... at ourselves ... no matter who we are or where we stand.

Lastly, a horror film - it is not. Somewhat gory, yes. A "horror" film? no.

8.6/10

I could not believe how much I loved her in this movie. Her character alone is worth the watch. Some good kill scenes and a fun ride throughout.

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the movie I kinda liked it, even though I didn't had high expectations about it. Eventually, it was better than I had imagined and I enjoyed it. The plot of the movie was interesting and kinda innovative. The storyline was kinda well-written and well-explained, even though it was simple and easy to understand. The characters were very interesting and well-developed, but most of them were dislikable. The casting of the movie was nice and their performances were descent. I have to admit, it was an unexpectedly very bloody and BRUTAL movie. Also, there were too many action-filled moments and the fight scenes were amazing. The first act of the movie was definitely unpredictable, very intense and full of gory death scenes. The ending scene was definitely unexpected, kinda shocking and I really enjoyed it. Moreover, it was a kinda funny movie and there were some satirical jokes during the movie. Overall, "The Hunt" was an enjoyable action/thriller film, action-filled, brutal and I would definitely recommend it to anyone! Last but not least, I'm definitely looking forward for a sequel...

Reading all these conflicting comments is hilarious..."It's bashing liberals, this is awesome!" "No! This movie is horrible because it's for liberals and makes conservatives look bad!" "NO, it's bad because it makes liberals look bad!!" Well, in reality, it's a satirical movie about how people on both sides of the political spectrum can be garbage humans. The movie has liberals killing conservatives, then conservatives killing liberals. Both parties are exaggerated with all the typical dumb stereotypes, and both sides are equally made fun of with characters that act like idiots. Anyone who thinks this movie is "sticking it to those darn liberals/conservatives!" are the exact people this movie is making fun of.

Going into this movie, I thought it was going to be a "Hunger Games" kind of deal. It turned out to be a completely different movie. This is basically a political satire that makes fun of all sides. Whether you're conservative or liberal, this movie will take jabs at you.

While the plot was unexpected, I ended up enjoying the story. The humor is intentionally bizarre, and you just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Including the parts where they're making fun of you, the audience. The thriller part of the movie gets a bit lost, but is still there. The only thing I'll say is don't watch if you get offended easily.
