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.

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

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.

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Rated: 3/5

The Australian

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.

Rated: 4/5

Seventh Art Studio

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

Rated: 6/10

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.

Rated: A-

Nightmare on Film Street

The Hunt is a movie at odds with itself. It wants to shed light on urgent social matters the writers think are worth discussing. Yet, bizarrely, the political slant here doesn't go the way anyone was expecting.

Rated: 7/10

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
