Hunt Club

I am convinced this movie is meant to be humorous. I am also wondering whether Mickey Rourke took the job as a favor to someone else. I had read that Mena Suvari had been through a rough time -having overcome a struggle with addiction. Perhaps, she merely needed to get back to work. Perhaps she owed a favor to others in this production (filmed in Mississippi-another strange aspect of this film). Something tells me that the backstory would be more more entertaining than the movie.

All I can really say is that the movie is entertaining enough and stars 2 very accomplished actors in Mena Suvari and Mickey Rourke. I would not pay extra to watch it but it was available as part of my regular Prime subscription. No one should take this movie very seriously.

This "B" movie draws its source material from the famous, and often repeated, "The Most Dangerous Game. The movie does not do a lot to disguise this premise early on, although it may not be known to the victims. The movie is not nearly as good as the plagued "The Hunt" from 2020. That movie is really well done and engaging. This Ione is watchable as long as you ignore the horrible dialogue and cheesy characters. It is violent and crazy, but I do think they make the film. The visuals are comic book like and do evidence a low budget. There is an attempt to work a Tarantino-ish twist and "Kill Bill" female empowerment into the tale. If you take it as Homage it fairs better than an attempt for originality. Mean Suva is a weak spot in this one.

It's nothing spectacular, the story has been done many times like in "Ready or not" and "the hunt". Those two films are entertaining and well directed. This is just a low budget rip off of said films with terrible fight scenes where people are punched from a meter away and take the hit like we aren't meant to notice they have just punched thin air. So even though I have given it 4 stars for the poor acting and lack of original story it is watcheable and if you have watched the two I mentioned already and looking for something to pass the time then this passes the time but the story is as expected. Nothing happens that isn't already mentioned in the films plot description.

Well this COULD have been a good movie. But it's not even close.

The director has no clue how to direct a movie and keep the action movie forward. It's just so slow you'll be nodding out.

Next, the hunt male characters are so thinly drawn you'll find them annoying at best. IF you can get past the absolutely horrible acting.

Mickey Rourke is unrecognizable. His face literally looks like he's wearing a mask. I'm not kidding. It looks like you can pull it off like a plastic Halloween mask.

Mena seems to want to prove she is overrated as an actress. All of the acting is dismal.

Throw in a bunch of stupid poorly written toxic masculinity BS and you have the biggest bomb of the year on your hands.

Follows a group of male hunters who regularly lure women to their island with the chance to win 100K in a hunt, only to discover that they are the hunted, but this time they mess with the wrong girls and must deal with the consequences.

I should have know better because movie like this and with actors like wanna be casper van dien is doomed like ... Oh my god this is a very bad movie and also hilarious. What were they trying to proof. Why is it that people make movies like this. For me it was done after 10 minutes and the last 7 minutes I was writing this review. Vasper please go the doctor and let them check out your lings and throat because you will find out that smoking cigars is bad for your health. Lets not forget about Mickey watching him and listening to what is coming out of his mouth does hurt. Please man it is ok rhst you stop have a good one and never show your face ever again because someone should protect you because the directors are using you and ask for a refund at your local hospital for a plastic surgery gone wrong. It is not very esthetic to look at this guy ever again in a movie.
