A vicious reflection of election cycle politics, THE HUNT is bloody fun if you like your violence and exploding body parts played for laughs. If you’re looking for an edgy political subtext that you may have heard about (this film was supposed to open last September but was postponed when President Trump tweeted about it), you’ll likely be disappointed. There’s style and attitude to spare, but THE HUNT struggles to balance its comedic and satiric elements.
After a gruesome (if unnecessary) prologue set aboard an airplane, THE HUNT finds twelve right-wing archetypes suddenly awake and lost in the middle of a field with a large wooden crate full of firearms to choose from. Also in the crate is a playful pig wearing a white shirt, the first of the script’s many references to George Orwell’s Animal Farm. But before you can say “Arnold Ziffel”, these folks are tumbling into spike pits, stepping on landmines and having their heads blown to bits. It turns out there is an underground organization of wealthy liberal elites who so look down on Bible-thumping, gun-clinging “deplorables” they drug and fly them to an intricate shooting range in Croatia (disguised as Alabama) called “The Manor” where they’re picked off with sniper rifles while the hunters smirk and sip pricey champagne. Much blood is spilled and many comic quips are uttered as the absurdities pile up, but THE HUNT never adds up to much.
Yes, THE HUNT is yet another variation of The Most Dangerous Game (first filmed on 1932), one that somewhat cynically uses our current, ugly state of partisan conflict as the angle for an oft-told story. Craig Zobel’s direction is confident, moving things at a lively, entertaining pace (its 89 minutes whiz by) but the underdeveloped screenplay relies too much on cartoonish portrayals of political extremes. There are some familiar names in in the cast, but if you’re going to see THE HUNT as a fan of actors such as Emma Roberts, Ike Barinholts, Ethan Suplee, Amy Madigan, or Sturgill Simpson, don’t get too attached. A running gag in the film’s first act is killing off characters you assume will be at the film’s center. That ‘Final Girl’ honor belongs to Betty Gilpin, last woman standing from about the film’s halfway point. Gilpin is good in THE HUNT, but the film’s second half underwhelms. Audiences may delight in the carnage, yet find themselves longing for a strong payoff instead of the extended kitchen-set catfight right out of the first KILL BILL. THE HUNT has some funny moments but it doesn’t always work (they do nothing interesting with that pig). It’s neither witty nor exciting enough to make it a must-see.
Watch intrigue and drama unfold in the trailer for MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN, starring Writer/Director Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, with Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe. Only in theaters November 1.
It was announced that the movie will be the closing night selection at the 57th New York Film Festival.
This is Oscar/Awards season bait… for sure! We can’t wait for this one!
Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton), a lonely private detective living with Tourette Syndrome, ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend, Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). Armed only with a few clues and the engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely guarded secrets that hold the fate of New York in the balance. In a mystery that carries him from gin-soaked jazz clubs in Harlem to the hard-edged slums of Brooklyn and, finally, into the gilded halls of New York’s power brokers, Lionel contends with thugs, corruption and the most dangerous man in the city to honor his friend and save the woman who might be his own salvation.
Edward Norton directed, wrote, produced and stars in “Motherless Brooklyn.” The film’s journey to the screen began in 1999 when Norton saw the cinematic potential in Jonathan Lethem’s novel Motherless Brooklyn and its unforgettable central character. But from the beginning, Norton aimed to transpose Lethem’s contemporary characters into a different period and plot and give it a distinctive atmosphere by re-setting the drama in the 1950s—a time of great change in New York City.
The film’s stellar ensemble cast also includes Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bobby Cannavale, Cherry Jones, Michael Kenneth Williams, Leslie Mann, Ethan Suplee, Dallas Roberts, Josh Pais, Robert Ray Wisdom, Fisher Stevens, with Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe. Norton also produced the film with his Class 5 Films producing partner Bill Migliore; Michael Bederman; and MWM Studios’ Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane. Adrian Alperovich, Sue Kroll, Daniel Nadler, Robert F. Smith, and Brian Niranjan Sheth served as executive producers.
Behind the scenes, Norton collaborated with two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography Dick Pope (“Mr. Turner,” “The Illusionist”), production designer Beth Mickle (“Drive,” “Collateral Beauty”), Oscar-nominated editor Joe Klotz (“Precious,” “The Butler”) and costume designer Amy Roth (TV’s “The Looming Tower,” “Indignation”).
Music plays an important role in setting the tone and establishing the period of “Motherless Brooklyn.” The score is composed by Daniel Pemberton (“Steve Jobs,” “All The Money In The World,” “Oceans 8,” “Spider Man: Into The Spiderverse”) and features Wynton Marsalis on the trumpet. The film also features an original song written and performed by Thom Yorke.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Class 5 Films / MWM Studios Production, “Motherless Brooklyn.” Slated for release on November 1, 2019, the film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
