After a much publicized delay, The Hunt is on. Unfortunately, it’s nothing overly special. But that’s not to say it isn’t a fun watch. What we ultimately get here is a tongue-in-cheek satire / bloodbath with equal opportunity political bashings. You see, the “liberal elites preying on the working class” plot leads to plenty entertaining dialogues and laugh out loud instances. So yes, the movie clearly does a good job of satirizing the left and right’s paranoia of one another. One of the main issues the Hunt faces though, is that the characters are given little to no depth. They are painted with broad strokes – like the broadest of the broad. Hilary Swank and Betty Gilpin are enjoyable to watch however, as they are clearly given the best material to work with. But in the end, does this movie have anything real to say about America’s political divide? Sure – it’s that both sides can be major a-holes. Now, is that message worth all the hype? Sadly no.
