The Hunt (2020)
Not so exciting for those outside US
Based on the score and reviews, I was expecting a clever action thriller. However, for the movie to function, you really need to live and breath the strongly polarized US political situation. Now I understand that the movie toys with the roles of liberals and conservatives. But to the average European, none of it works. The jokes won't land (btw, it should list comedy as a genre), while the action and acting are were not good enough to save it in my opinion. It just doesn't hold your interest at all. I've seen it compared to the likes of You're Next or Ready or Not, but this is not fair, since those movies stand splendidly on their own. I have to add that I adored Mare of Easttown series from the same director. So clearly he has talent. If this movie worked for you, then great. Perhaps it managed to get some laughs out of the tense political zeitgeist. I just wanted to offer a different kind of view as an 'outsider', so please don't hold it against me :-).
