Pointless

Warning: Spoilers
This "movie" was plodding and dull. Nothing happens. Interesting plot points are (randomly) introduced to ultimately go nowhere.

Gavin (his character described as "picky" and a "nice guy" by others in the film--traits we don't really see exemplified on-screen) and his friend, Amy (her only character trait being recently broken up with her boyfriend) find a stranger, Carter, passed out in front of Gavin's apartment.

Amy wants him gone, but Gavin invites him to stay through the weekend (as his flight home is Sunday).

Carter lies about losing his cellphone because "reasons," but is discovered since he left said phone turned on, vibration on, and IN HIS BAG.

Amy definitely wants him gone now, but Carter tells Gavin he was supposed to meet his father (who lives in NYC) but he was nervous because he'd never met him before, only talking a few times on the phone.

Gavin let's Carter stay. They end up sleeping in the same bed because it's hot and only Gavin's room has AC.

Gavin's roommate, Farrah, shows up (having been out for a few days with a guy she was dating). She's leaving to hookup with another guy.

Gavin throws a birthday party. A rent check has disappeared, and he accuses Carter. Carter leaves and sleeps on the doorstep to the building his father lives in, but never goes inside. Amy, drunk, goes to the apartment shared with her ex and falls asleep on the couch. Derek, a guy interested in Gavin, stays the night. He wakes up in Gavin's bed and leaves, taking the mix CD he made for Gavin's birthday gift.

The end.

This movie had the feel of a student short film (despite being a mind-numbing 90 minutes). The script was poorly written, the acting mediocre, and the character motivation virtually nonexistent.

Don't waste your time

While the setup was interesting, the story goes no where. In fact, the ending leaves so many questions unanswered that I feel lost. What was the point of this film? Whatever.

Why did I watch this? Warning: Spoilers
If it had gone the way of the synopsis, it might have really been good. It was setup good, but then it just withered and died. I didn't get attention vying, I didn't get closure, I didn't get anything explained. It just languished and ended.

Well, that was 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

If you like movies with pointless plots and undeveloped characters, this movie is for you. Otherwise don't waste your time; you'll be sorry you did just like I am.

Waste of time

This movie just plodded along aimlessly and ended with no resolution for the characters. What was the point?

Simple film with a message
cekadah2 January 2022
The title is 'Hunter' and the book spoken about by Gavin and Carter is - The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

Each character here wants to 'connect with another' yet we all keep a thin layer of ice between us because we fear being 'known'! Therefore in our own ways we deceive ourselves and others through various ways. Hopefully the hunting heart will discover that which is often right before us.

Certainly not the best acting nor production here. But the plot is honest and the message came across clearly to me. Why other reviews here missed it is a mystery to me.
