The HUNT (2020) : Movie Review


The Hunt is a manhunt we’ve seen in other ways in Wrecked season 3 recently. In this film with false polemics, The Hunt is especially a small release.
In charge of this adaptation of Richard Connell's new The Most Dangerous Game (The Most Dangerous Game), we find Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof, 
those behind The Leftovers or The Watchmen! But don't expect a brain movie. The Hunt is a release that starts from the first minutes by mistreating the cast.
Featured are Emma Roberts and Justin Hartley, who escaped from American Horror Story and This Is Us.



The film begins as a beast series B but from scene to scene, a certain second degree is essential and each highlight is a snub to the clichés of the genre. 
It is only after 20 minutes that the central character comes off and imposes itself. With a very present detachment, this character will wander and go to
the end of this hunt. It’s a little release, carried by a staging that tries to be original at bad times. 
Craig Zobel realizes, he was behind the post with Margot Robbie Z for Zachariah in 2015.



After ten minutes, Emma Roberts and Justin Hartley are no longer of this world. Their characters are liquidated unceremoniously. 
It will therefore not be the main characters, not even the other three who take over from the foreground. It’s Crystal played by Betty Gilpin (Glow, Nurse Jackie) who becomes the heroine.
With an enormous detachment from the events, she begins to unzip everyone without emotion with a pinched smile as if everything was a chore.
This second degree will increasingly contaminate the story and the secondary characters, until the very end where Hillary Swank is the final boss.
The Hunt doesn’t try to explain anything, it’s a big thumbs down to over-explanatory and high-concept movies. The final boss, Athena, explains that all this is there to ... justify rumors. 
And you don't find out until the very end, the rest of it doesn't expose any rules.



Indeed, on the Net, some people speak of a hunt for human game in a Manor. Athena, irritated by her rumors, therefore begins to really organize this hunt to silence them.
The Hunt is a film where everything is possible. It does not reinvent anything but it feels good in a fairly formatted cinema that points to discussions and exchanges.



The controversy still aiming at the violence of the film compared to mass-shootings in the USA is obviously an endless debate.
