Review of The Hunt (2020) by Infrarecon — 11 May 2023

Now we are talking, I missed this one a while back and decided to watch it, this is an absolutely fantastic R-rated movie, mixing satire, realism, and just overall entertaining action.

Though this movie has problems, not so big that it makes the movie bad in any way.

First is the length a lot of films these days are really skimping on the length. I get it needs to be a quick flick, short and sweet, but with a film of this nature, it is very unique.

The second problem is related to length because there are not that many badass scenes with the main character.

What I call Macgyver moments, with gore and John Wickness.

Other than that every scene is satisfying making good use of situations, and explaining what's going on from the introduction of the film to the end...mostly. Ok, why do I say mostly, it's because of the dialogue. In most parts, it's good in others(eg. The very end) it's a little cringe.

As for the main character, I like this character, she's not a Marie Sue, she is fun, violent, and sometimes relatable and inexpressive for the purpose of this film, it matches so well, with the writing, the supporting characters, and the scene to scene logic. Sometimes saying nothing is saying a lot, and I like that.

A movie like this really shows that you don't need to push an agenda to have a great female character, in fact, this character is up there with my top favourites.

8/10, This is probably going to be an underrated film lost in film history, and that saddens me because I want more. How does a Film like "Murder Mystery" on Netflix get 2 movies, when this just gets one, this is peculiar, Universal should look into a sequel Immediately.

Just give it a little bit more length, and suffering, Play with some scenes, make the audience relate to the character even more, keep the writing solid and trust me we got a banger R-Rated, Action, Thriller, Horror, with some satire.
