    • Trivia
      The movie was pulled from its original September 2019 release date due to mass shootings. It was rescheduled to March 13th, 2020. Unfortunately, the box office results were drastically affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, as many theaters were forced to close.
    • Goofs
      On the boxes in the train, "This end up" is translated to Serbo-Croatian as "Ovde zavrsiti" which actually means "Finish here". The proper translation should be "Gore" which is used in this context, meaning "up", or "ova strana gore"/"ovaj kraj gore"/"gornja strana" which is more literal.

      Additionally, "This end" is shown as "Dieses Ende" which is the literal German translation. However, in German that makes no sense at all. A correct marking would have simply been "Oben" (for "Up").

    Polarizing & Mordant Satire - A Like-It or Hate-It Film
    'The Hunt' tries hard to please, and it succeeds at providing some very cleaver moments throughout the film. For the low dollars invested, this Tarantino-ish production delivers a good ROI for the audience.

    Lead actress Betty Gilpin carries the film over the finish line merging excellent girl-power action skills with a laconic-droll comedic performance.

    A competent supporting cast make their contributions before their inevitable demise takes them out of the picture.

    Looks at first to be heading towards a political agenda, the film quickly makes its true intent clear on such - it satirizes today's hyper-sensitive, and highly polarized and opinionated right vs left social-media/blogging environment.

    There is thankfully really no in-your-face thought-provoking messaging involved here...just an effort in having some fun, supported by a witty script and direction/editing that keeps the film moving at just the right pace.

    Be advised, this film is WAY too violent, gory, and inappropriate for children.

    The film grows on you mostly due to Gilpin's performance, but the screenplay deserves applause too.

    Overall, I liked this film a lot more than I anticipated I would.

    Give this film at least 30 minutes before making the call to continue or not.
