Watched the first 30 minutes, then quit.

The first.1 minute had a parachute drop with 101st, ok... yes that's accurate, but then the sergeant (first character) had a MP40 in has back. He meets a private with a Thompson. So if you are going to have one guy with a Thompson, why give the sergeant a German SMG?

That's where it started, and it didn't get any better. Tried to give characters a backstory, with some dialogue about 'what would you do if you weren't in the war" and answer was "well I wouldn't be here that's for sure!".

Come on... if you want to spend time on development, give them something the audience can relate to.

Now you can't remove its core theme of playing on gender as the humour and how as a modern society are evolving in its acceptancy, but without this core feature, there is no humour.

All good comedies have layers. This does not.

I believe that the ratings of others are due to its theme, not its entertainment value. My view is that as a comedy it just can't be rather above average because it just isn't funny. The odd smirk that passed my face was shot lived, and there were no out loud moments for me.

Overall, a disappointed attempt to leverage off past, or perhaps even some current views on gender stereotypes, even using alienation off the Indian culture to almost racial effect. Not a fan.

Other reviews say "Indiana Jones meets the librarian"... and frankly that's an insult to the librarian..

Indiana Jones has cheese in it as its a cheese burger and an essential ingredient in its composition, but this movie "THE HUNTERS" is lacking actors, direction and a decent script. Its trying to be a hamburger and all it has to offer is stale bread.

It feels 'made for television' and the special effects (I wont call it CGI because it looks worse the 1977 Star Wars episode 1.)

Bottom line is don't watch it. Even if you think 'I'd really like to watch an adventure movie' please don't. I'm trying to help you!
