  Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 11

  “The Hunt” begins with a bunch of NPR-addicted neoliberals poaching a wild pack of Trump-worshipping MAGA types for bloodsport. Director Craig Zobel’s ultra-violent satirical update of “The Most Dangerous Game” aspires to be the movie that America needs right now; it’s a giddy slaughterhouse of mirrors that hopes to bring this country together and make it great again by reflecting the absurdity of us vs them resentment. The movie literalizes the rhetoric of a culture war that has divided the United States into “globalist cucks who run the deep state” and “redneck deplorables” with little wiggle room in between. Blumhouse’s latest blast of low-budget social commentary tries to split the difference between centrists and nihilists — between “bothsidesism” and “nosidesism”—…

  Review by matt lynch ★★½ 2

  Look I'll give this credit for a commitment to cheap thrills and, like everyone else is saying, Betty Gilpin was a lot of fun. But this is mostly just kind of smug in its calling out of what's allegedly dangerous hypocrisy on both sides, and the caricaturing it has to do in order to make that argument -- which is exactly the kind of lazy shorthand that generally gets labelled satire these days -- is consistently eyeroll-inducing.

  Satire (noun):
  the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

  Farce (noun):
  a comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.

  
  You pick.

  Cause the makers clearly picked one and made the other.

  Review by Josh Lewis ★★ 1

  Sorta like Battle Royale but with the potent expression of adolescent rage concerning adult condescension and senseless violence replaced with a bunch of broad American culture war signifiers. Not even half as provocative as it thinks it is and the action mostly sucks.

  Crystal: "Cigarettes are $6 in Arkansas. YOU DONE FUCKED UP BITCH!!”

  SYNOPSIS: Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don't know where they are, or how they got there. They don't know they've been chosen - for a very specific purpose - The Hunt.

  I still held out hope that it would be released eventually following its cancellation last September because of the political backlash it received, and luckily Universal still had the guts to do so. In fact, their recent media spots have only exploited the controversy of the cancellation/delay…
