All of these things were huge [historical] events during that period, if you know all of this stuff, this movie is way better.

“Hunt” works fine as a slam-bang action movie; but at heart it’s more of a cautionary tale.

| Dec 2, 2022

Hunt has some excellent bang-bang escapism, but it's ultimately too shallow to recommend.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 2, 2022

A dense narrative bursting with elaborate red herrings proves an unmanageable mess as the film wears on.

| Dec 2, 2022

Hunt is an ugly morality play, briskly told and given chilling, crackling energy by Lee and Jung.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 1, 2022

Right off the bat, the film aspires to a level of sophistication on par with Decision To Leave. Although it doesn’t fully live up to that comparison, it’s exciting to see a filmmaking novice stretch like this.

| Original Score: B | Nov 30, 2022

Hunt is a film stuck entirely in fifth, racing from one sudden shootout to another at the expense of the labyrinthine plot.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 9, 2022

The twists arrive thick and fast with Lee taking the odd narrative break for propulsive, percussive and bullet-sprayed action sequences. It’s quite the ride.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2022

Some shocking twists go off like well-timed bombs in the back half of the film, somewhat compensating for what is, in all honesty, a bit of a slog.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 1, 2022

A kinetic, truly thrilling and delightfully operatic espionage tale.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2022

An increasingly frustrating movie that loses its way amid a dense thicket of plot complications, double-dealings, counterplans and surprise revelations, without laying the necessary groundwork to help you keep track of what’s going on. Or to care.

| May 20, 2022

The last few scenes are so ludicrous as to be laughable, but that doesn’t sabotage the fun...

| May 20, 2022

Lee pulls off a suspenseful puzzle in which shifting motives and dense plots keep the audience guessing until a big and fairly ludicrous action scene at the finale.

| May 20, 2022

An energetic yet hopelessly convoluted espionage thriller that doesn’t tell a story so much as it chronically bumps into one.

| Original Score: C | May 20, 2022
