The Hunt 2020

The Hunt (2020) is a darkly comic action-thriller directed by Craig Zobel and produced by Blumhouse, written by Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse. It stars Betty Gilpin as Crystal, along with Hilary Swank, Emma Roberts, Ike Barinholtz, Glenn Howerton, and Ethan Suplee.🧨 Release & Controversy Originally slated for September 2019, its release was delayed after mass shootings and backlash—including criticism from President Trump—who claimed it was incendiary. Universal ultimately released it on March 13, 2020. The film later went digital early due to theater closures during COVID-19.📊 Critics & Box Office Box office: Global earnings between ~$12M (Rotten Tomatoes) and ~$42M (Infogalactic), with much revenue from streaming and drive-ins during the pandemic. Critical reviews: Mixed. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 57%, with Metacritic around 50/100 (indicating "mixed or average"). Praise: Gilpin’s performance and action scenes earned praise; she won Best Actress in an Action Movie at the Critics' Choice Super Awards. Critiques: Satire labeled "heavy‑handed"; characters besides Crystal are often seen as flat stereotypes.👍 Audience Feedback Reddit fans highlighted Gilpin’s standout performance and the film's fun, gory ride:“Betty Gilpin was so badass … Her delivery was spot on.”“It was funny, a little gory, unexpected and exciting… I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.”Others described it as “pure horror … fun mindless entertainment” and praised its action and black comedy.✅ Should You Watch? Yes if you enjoy violent, satirical thrillers with over-the-top action and sharp, absurd humor. Betty Gilpin steals the show as a hard-nosed badass. Maybe skip if you prefer nuanced satire or deeper character development—many find it entertaining but vacuous beyond the spectacle.▶️ Conclusion The Hunt is a provocative, action-packed satire that blends dark humor, political commentary, and bloody thrills. While its attempts at political nuance are hit-or-miss, the film succeeds as an over-the-top, violent survival thriller. Betty Gilpin’s standout performance grounds the chaos, turning what could have been a forgettable genre exercise into something sharper and more memorable. It’s best approached not as serious political critique, but as a gory, fast-paced ride that lampoons both sides of the ideological divide. 👉 Watch it if you're in the mood for bold satire, brutal action, and a fierce lead performance. The Hunt is an adrenaline-fueled political parody that divides viewers: praised by many for its energy, gore, and performance, but criticized by others for its shallow satire and character simplicity. It shines as entertaining popcorn cinema, but its commentary lands unevenly. Read More
