I didn't recognize any of the actors in HUNTING GROUNDS, nor the director. But the movie was really fun to watch - interesting plot, a woman seeking justice all alone in the woods, a rescue hero who becomes a problem, and finally revenge that is well overdue. Plenty of surprises here, as well as nice photography and music score.
I happen to enjoy kick-ass females who, against all odds, manage to exact revenge against evil men. That's this movie, and much more.
The feminine lead "Chloe" here carries the day, and "Jack" is equally good at playing a former green beret who has lost his way. Be sure and give this a look. I recommend it.

I agree with other reviews that found two major faults with this movie.
AUTHOR. The movie tells us (in the scripts) that B wrote many many books about faith. Yet the movie itself never shows him writing or publishing or discussing any books. The most we see is B writing his thoughts in a journal.
ASSASSIN. Yes historically there were many failed plots to assassinate Hitler, and in fact the movie shows us such a plot. But there are no facts in the movie to show that B was ever arrested or charged with this. It's a very serious gap in the story.
BOTTOM LINE. I'm sorry, but I think B deserves a better script and a livelier story. The movie Valkarie with Tom Cruise (a non religious story) that depicts a failed assassination attempt on Hitler is a good example.
The Bonhoeffer movie could have used a lot more action to break up what were tedious conversations about faith in the face of evil.

Viggo is a great actor, but he falls short as a director. The plot is slow and jumps time zones without the benefit of a "1844" or "1850", leaving you totally confused. The last half hour is worth watching but you have to sit through the other foggy 90 minutes. Good photography, but the music sounds like it was stolen from a Ken Burns documentary.
Viggo's character is also peculiar. He's just returned from a war only to sign up for another (Civil War) leaving his lady live to fend for herself in a very rugged home in the Nevada wilderness.
Dang! I had higher hopes for this one. Appaloosa it is not.
