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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 28, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2020

It's a pretty blunt, modern re-run with blunt, broad political satire on both sides, not much of which hits home...

No one could possibly be offended by The Hunt, because that would require it to contain at least one comprehensible idea.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 22, 2020

The only thing more deadly here than the bullets are the bullet points flying at you so fast, so furiously.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2020

I walked away [thinking] that was enjoyable, but maybe it didn't have as sharp of teeth as it could have.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Mar 19, 2020

After a shocking 'gotcha' prologue, we're simply dumped with human targets on a killing field, as the hidden left-wing cadre picks them off with bullets, arrows, and grenades.

The Hunt is fun, frothy and yet rooted in our wounded world. And if that's not enough to persuade you - Donald Trump hates it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2020

A collaboration between Universal and Blumhouse this riotously violent horror-comedy deserves its second chance, though ignore critics who tell you it's as sharp as Get Out (that's fake news).

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2020

It's a movie that's trying to hold up a mirror to modern America and show us that we all need to come together or we're all going to go off the deep end and do something we really regret. Right message, wrong movie.

| Original Score: C | Mar 16, 2020

President Donald Trump's supporters aren't victims, they're victimizers. Shame on "The Hunt" for pandering to one of their most cherished fantasies - that they are persecuted.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 15, 2020

This is an asinine B-movie, and a harmless one at that.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2020

The only thing worth discussing about "The Hunt" is the genius of Betty Gilpin. The story is too pat, and flat, to invite any real discussion with, or about it, but Gilpin offers up a performance that you won't be able to shake.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 14, 2020

Let me be blunt: If The Hunt is what passes for satire in 2020, as I think it may, then we're all - pardon my French - completely screwed.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 14, 2020

It's regrettable that, despite all of its jabs at relevance, the movie has no desire to actually dig into the details of the anger felt by either side of the bloodsport event it imagines.

| Mar 13, 2020

Despite the provocative premise of liberal elitists hunting deplorables for sport, the movie is basically easy jokes and ho-hum splatter.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 13, 2020

[The] didactic preachiness is too toothless to become truly tiresome.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 13, 2020

This is Gilpin's film. If you're wondering, this is proof final that the Glow star is a mesmerizing force.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 12, 2020

With the exception of a well-placed Ava DuVernay gag and one very instructive lesson on the power of a bread knife, The Hunt seems like a too obvious and disappointingly safe jab at Our Polarized Times.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 12, 2020
