The Hunt Movie Review

Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don’t know they’ve been chosen – for a very specific purpose – The Hunt.

So much better than expected

It took me a while to watch this based on reviews and all the political nonsense, but I am so happy I changed my mind. One of the most entertaining movies I’ve seen in the last year. While there are political undertones and references, they’re not over played and it adds to the entertainment. I highly recommend this movie. It’s good for some laughs, and isn’t light on the action.

Satirical film that makes fun of everyone

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.

Good fun and brave levels of dark humor

It had similar vibes of Ready Or Not, ideas and themes of The Purge and the unpredictability of The Cabin In The Woods. The first act is pretty strong and it really throws you off course as to who you think the main protagonist will be. That just set me up nicely for not having a clue of where it could go next. It moves at a good pace, the violence is brutal but cartoonish in its execution, the gags are solid and go down brave but potentially dangerous routes. I was fine with them. But it wouldn’t surprise if some might offend the SJW cinema-goers. While the end was the most formulaic part of the film. The journey getting there made it a worthwhile watch.

No one is safe

This movie is an equal opportunity offender and it’s hilarious. It pokes fun at everyone and says “don’t worry you can laugh, even if it’s at your own expense”.

I think the controversy around it makes it even funnier because I didn’t find anything to be offended about in this movie because it’s a satire, it’s saying things with a wink and making fun of the characters saying these things. (I think anyway).

Betty Gilpin is great in this and she really knew what movie she was in.

It also has a way of keeping you on your toes especially at the start and was kind of refreshing.

Great dark comic thriller

The movie is dark and funny throughout and brings out laughter every now and then. There is not a boring moment in the movie until the end. Betty Gilpin in the main lead is too good, she rocks and shines throughout in her character. Towards the later half, the surprise entry of Hillary Swank is amazing too! No thing to give away by this fact at all so just sit back relax and enjoy the movie!

I enjoyed this movie

I wasn’t sure about this movie at first but I loved the twist and turns and the ending was a blast. Sure it was violent, sure it was political but you have to admit, it was funny and the ending was just fun!!! Crystal was a hoot and the actress who played her was great. Very tongue and cheek. It kept my interest through the whole movie. I don’t know why people have to go and make a big deal about this movie because, it’s just a movie. It wasn’t made with bad intentions. If you are looking for a different movie than the run of the mill shoot ’em up bang bang watch this movie. I think you might be surprised…
