The Hunt is one
of those movies you only get to see because someone else saw it and recommended
it. The movie is fun and sort of funny. I enjoyed the way the first thirty
minutes played out, where you're left trying to figure out who the lead is.
When you finally get to see her, you begin to wonder, "Why in the hell
would these people decide to pick someone like her for their game?"
The movie has a
final fight scene that is just sweet to behold. If for nothing else, that’s
enough reason to see the movie.
The Hunt is one
of those movies that will fly under the radar for many because, when it comes
to fantastic acting, none really exists. The storyline is basic, and the gore
is pretty much what you'd expect in a movie like this.
Here’s the plot:
A group of rich people decide they want to hunt. They choose their prey to be
human. At first, you see the humans they’ve chosen, and you believe it must
have been random because none of them seem to know each other.
As the movie
develops, we see the hunt begin, with many of the prey dying mercilessly. Soon,
you discover that it's hard to trust anyone in this movie because they may be
part of the hunters.
One of the prey
decides she’s not going to die easily and turns the tables on the ones hunting
her. She does so well, with the help of some of the other prey.
One person at
the head of all this craziness is a lady named Athena (Hilary Swank). She
planted herself as the final boss at the end of the game—the last battle for
anyone who survives the other bosses along the way.
I can easily
recommend The Hunt for viewing. It’s a real pleasure to watch. It’s available
for digital viewing, though it's sad the movie didn’t get more time in cinemas
due to the current pandemic plaguing the world.
