A Caça

As many others have said on here, not a bad movie. It takes the surviving the game premise and makes it slightly more realistic to me. But it's still not very likely to happen. What I didn't understand was that if our hero and bad guys chasing him did not show up when they did, they would have only had 2 people to hunt. Is that really enough? Or do they have the hunt when they have enough people? It was a little bit different, our hero was not some white knight or former navy seal. I didn't like the ending at first, but then when I thought about it, at least ot was different. If you are looking for free movies, and come across this one, Which is what I do, Then take a shot. I have watched many a bad movie for free, Before reading reviews. Now I come to the reviews first. Well enough acted and just realistic enough to keep you interested.

Okay I wrote a medium sized review and tried to submit it and the internet froze up and it apparently got lost so that is lame.

So not writing that again so long story short.

I liked it. End was good! Chris was a great character. Haha. 7/10

Druggie loser Warren Novak needs to go to Mexico to meet his child. He gets involved in a drug sale which goes terribly wrong. He runs away and finds himself in a small town near the border. He and other troubled souls are taken captive by the town. The town is reliving their hunting traditions and they're hunting the most dangerous animal.

I don't care that much about Warren. The drug sale is very memorable, but there isn't much else. The premise has been done plenty. This is not doing something completely new. Nothing is really exciting me, but it's not horrible. I feel a bit bland about this.

Seen at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival 2017 (website: www.bifff.net). Starting with an original premise, it has even more original developments in its favor. Of course, the prey has slim chances to survive as per the initial setup of the hunting "game", yet it takes some time for the villagers to learn that the prey this time does not give in so easily as in previous years. In a series of scenes, switching from prey to prey, one falling after the other, yet this time with victims on both sides. Luckily for us viewers, it all went differently from previous years. Alcohol plays an important side role, primarily (of course) for main character Warren throughout the running time, but he also makes productive use of alcohol near the finale.

Entertaining throughout, apart from Warren's alcohol addiction and related cold turkey phenomena, and despite the unnecessary violence, the latter not shown in all gory detail yet suggested with not much left to outguess. For example, when someone's head is beaten with a baseball bat, the movement of the bat is clearly shown but not the ultimate effects on the receiving end. A concession towards content advisory ratings?? It won't help, as the whole movie is riddled with unmitigated violence all over. But it is not Horror in the old-fashioned and literal sense of the word, so no dark corners nor ancient buildings, no monsters nor ghosts, only ordinary (yet redneck) people operating in broad daylight (or some at night) with destructive intentions.

All in all, casting and acting make this movie stand out in the first place, in addition to the original plot with many unexpected developments.

Had some solid scenes and a decent story with some blood but just wasn't that fun to watch. Should have been better.
