What You Need To Know:

THE HUNT (2020) is an ultraviolent thriller about a woman fighting angry rich secular liberals who kidnap and drug 12 conservative social media activists and Trump supporters. The liberals plan to hunt them down in cold blood. The victims are given some rifles and guns, but no sooner have they grabbed the weapons that the liberals open fire on them from a nearby hill. Several people survive, including a woman named Crystal who served in Afghanistan. Eventually, Crystal takes one of the walkie talkies the liberals are using to communicate with one another. She starts tracking them down and killing them. Who will survive?

THE HUNT has a few funny political jokes. However, the movie’s major plot twist almost totally lets the liberal villains off the hook. Also, although the movie shows that the liberal villains are bigoted, several of the conservatives being hunted are racist and xenophobic in a mean way. Finally, there’s not enough information given about the tough heroine and her background to make her sympathetic, much less to justify the movie’s extremely graphic, abhorrent violence and frequent foul language.

More Detail:

THE HUNT (2020) is an ultra-violent thriller about a woman fighting some angry rich secular liberals who have kidnapped and drugged 12 conservative Internet, social media activists and Trump supporters to hunt them down in cold blood. Despite some funny political jokes, the big reveal in THE HUNT and some xenophobic attitudes from two or three of the conservative victims, gets the movie’s liberal villains off the hook. Also, there’s not enough information given about the tough heroine and her background to make her more sympathetic, much less to justify even slightly the movie’s extremely graphic, abhorrent violence and frequent foul language.

The movie opens on a plane where the rich liberals are transporting their conservative victims to the place where they will be hunted down in cold blood. One of the victims, a big man, suddenly wakes up and tries to attack the liberal passengers. However, he’s still a little too groggy from the drugs, and he gets stabbed in the neck, and his left eye plucked out by one of the liberal female leader’s high heels.

Cut to the conservatives waking up in a meadow near a small swamp. All the men and women have their mouths covered by a locked hard rubber device with a leather strap. A large wooden box is lying in the middle of the clearing. One man starts to pry open the box while the others hide.

When the man opens the box, a little pig jumps out and starts running around. The pig carries a key that unlocks the mouth restraints. Inside the box are a bunch of rifles, guns and other weapons. No sooner have the people grabbed the weapons when a hail of gunfire erupts from a hill overlooking the meadow. A gun battle ensues, but the attackers on the hill have the advantage. People are shot, a woman falls into a pit and is impaled on sharp sticks. Then, she gets blown in half by a grenade. Meanwhile, a man steps on a landmine and is blown to bloody bits.

Several of the victims survive, including Crystal, a blonde woman with a Southern accent who apparently served in Afghanistan. She’s used to the tricks of Muslim fanatics, so she saves one man’s life and teams up with him. However, the man is a stupid xenophobe and soon gets killed because of his stupidity.

Eventually, Crystal gets her hands on a walkie talkie the liberals are using to communicate with one another. So, she starts tracking them down and killing them. Who will survive?

THE HUNT (2020) has a few political jokes that folks on both the Left and Right might find funny. However, the movie’s major plot twist, which reveals why the liberals decided to hunt down these particular conservative activists, almost totally lets the liberal villains off the hook. Also, although the movie shows that the liberal villains are themselves bigoted, especially against conservatives who believe in God, several of the conservatives being targeted are racist and xenophobic in a mean way. Finally, there’s not enough information given about the tough heroine and her background to make her more sympathetic, much less to justify even slightly the movie’s extremely graphic, abhorrent violence and frequent foul language.
