(Contains spoilers) Organized human hunting in a different way. Why are people kidnapped and hunted here? Why this group of people? All questions that will be answered soon, slightly surprising but then also quickly sucked out.
Exaggerated left-wing liberals hunt exaggerated conspiracy theorists & (as the best comparison) Trump supporters. The plot fluctuates between amusing and over-the-top. The start after the kidnapped wake up is probably the funniest scene in the whole movie. If you thought you were just shown the main actors, they immediately getting killed in funny gory ways to jump on to the next one - with the same result. That was really good! The only thing that matches this level of humor are the awkward faces Betty Gilpin is showing is from time to time. Afterwards it remains interesting, but never again gets again this funny kind of slapstick brutality, despite enough escalating violence.In the end, it becomes absurd and culminates in the duel between the protagonist and the chief hunter, without it becoming too exciting for the outcome. The choreography of the fight is still wonderful to look at as one or the other seems to get overwhelmed now.
The overall experience is a successful new take in the genre. No horror film, no pure slapstick humor. Rather a pastiche on how half of the Americans see the other half - and vice versa. 7/10
