Death Hunt

No pun intended - the movie ... well you understand what it is about from the title alone ... have to admit I did not even think about it ... but yes, this is about hunting and about ... well killing, which ends up in death of someone. The characters may be flawed (they are, question is if you care) and the story takes a while to take off ... but it has some "nice" (read decent) scenes.

I liked that the woman is quite pro active and that there is no ... well that they do not go into an area that I feel is way too close to home ... and this is anything but close to home as you can tell by watching it.

The effects are well done - a bit suspension of disbelief is necessary ... maybe a lot to be honest. Still if you like the theme and have no issues with low budget movies ... well here ya go ... keep up with it (won't be a problem - and you won't get lost either)

The idea is not bad, but the actors remain colorless. The film could be a nice homage to the old 80s movies.

It is exactly what you would expect of a budget confined indy action/horror flick. If you are expecting The Avengers or Citizen Kane don't bother. If you love B level 80s action movies however this is time well spent. The female lead is actually excellent. Hope to see her in more.

American & Confederate flags mix with Canadian accents, scenery & apparently stereotypes.

As ex-mil, NRA instructor & competitive shooter the firearms scenes were agonizing. Please enlist a firearms expert to assist.

Actors without finger or muzzle discipline. Firearms without recoil, that don't lock open when empty, fired from the hip without aiming at impossibly close range.

That said, the actress was fit & lovely. The scenery was beautiful. The plot, while perhaps overused was still thought provoking.

The choice of vehicles was excellent. I really liked the Trans Am & police cruiser.

Despite gritting my teeth at the firearm handling & stereotypes, it was reasonably entertaining.

The storyline of this movie is familiar, and the outcome is predictable. If you are seeking a revenge movie to watch, then this film may suit.

In a typical revenge movie, you want the bad guys to be bad and you want them to do bad things. If the bad guys are bad enough, you begin to cheer on the good guys and hope the bad guys get their just rewards. Thinking along these lines, this is certainly the plot for this movie, except that the good guy is a good gal.

The acting in this movie will certainly not win any awards. I did not recognize any of the actors from previous films. Still, the storyline keeps moving and there is enough action and suspense to watch the entire movie.
