Critics Consensus

The Hunt is successful enough as a darkly humorous action thriller, but it shoots wide of the mark when it aims for timely social satire.

This gleefully trashy, superficial satire takes shotgun aim at both Democrats and Republicans for their stereotypical assumptions about, and thin-skinned fury at, each other.

If Hollywood really is an elite liberal bubble, Damon Lindelof might just be the prick it needs.

4/5

What I think this intelligent, violent movie is saying is that both stories are wrong because in races where it's us (or US) versus them there can be no winner.

I genuinely don't know how this movie got green-lit based on the script alone.

Progressive Hunger Games, some good action moments and jokes for a film that feels written by AI. [Full review in Spanish]

A-

The Hunt is a brilliantly dark satire on today’s political views of the world. It’s meant to be one of the most divisive films of the last few years, and it undoubtedly succeeds in its mission. Like dark humor, either you’re okay with it, or you’re not.

Great action. Ending was a little weird maybe unfinished? Idk. I enjoyed it but nothing special. Love the pokes at political ideologies. Very true how stupid some of the ideas are in the real world
