Where this film shines is in its shock factor. Once the third act of this film began, I just didn't seem to care anymore. This is a very rushed movie that ultimately feels dull by the end. The first act of this movie is very enjoyable and my jaw was on the floor on a couple of occasions, but I found myself very uninterested in the events to follow after that. Placed in a forest with nothing but weapons, they must flee for their lives, for reasons that will come to light later on. While it didn't always work for me, The Hunt is absolutely the definition of a violent film that's just trying to provide some adult fun.Īfter a couple of needless scenes, this film opens with a group of twelve individuals, not knowing where they are or why they are there. Regardless, this is a very violent film, but it's all meant to give audiences an enjoyable time. It's really just a more brutal version of a film like The Hunger Games. Normally I can just brush off reality and enjoy a movie for what it is, but after watching this movie, even I found myself wondering why it was delayed. Going into this movie, I was worried about how similar it was going to feel to the real-world events of the last couple of years. It's hard not to think about the controversy of a movie when the media all over the world was covering the fact that this film was delayed, due to violence in the world.
