The Hunt film is a "Hunger Games" esque political comedy in which a bunch of liberal elite attempt to round up the conservative degenerates to try and kill them off in a game. And so from this idea we get the feeling that this film is one that won't be holding back on what it is trying to say about our current political landscape.
From the start of the film the movie begins murdering off a slew of characters one by one as you try to figure out who are the main characters of the story. In this murder spree you get a sense that this is a comedy as many of the deaths are very over the top and comedic. A lot of time is spent making fun of the conservative mindset in this sequence as many character rally together to try and protect themselves. These scenes are also used to set up the world we are in and who are our antagonist going to be.
Despite the scenes of making fun of the conservative party the film also does a lot to make fun of the liberal party and their innate hypocrisy. These are rich progressives who only act for these causes when they feel like it would benefit them in some way, but in reality they don't really care for the causes. There are many scenes within this film that defiantly feel like they are leaning right into the more pro-conservative camp than the liberal one. And by doing this the film forces the liberal party to look out their own innate problems that they have.
However this is still a Damon Lindeloff who has just finished of the exceptional "Watchmen" show based on the amazing graphic novel. The Watchmen show was a very liberal leaning show, and you can still see a lot of those liberal ideas being formed in the female protagonist introduced played by Betty Gilpin. While this character does side with the conservative faction we do get many scenes showing that she has many more of the traits that are given to female heroes on the left. She doesn't show the hate to the muslim faction that her conservative friends do, and she seems to not take crap from her more oppressive male counterparts. She comes off as a Sarah Conner or a female John Wick type of character. She shows that she only has one passion and that is violence.
The film does have a myriad of problems. There are many questions raised throughout the movie especially with Betty Gilpin's character and her sidekick. Betty's character doesn't really give us a lot of insight to what is going on in her head. She doesn't come with a lot answers about her past. And when her sidekick seemingly betrays her we don't really get a direct answer if he really did or not, but neither of these questions match the very strange and unorthodox ending we get that really only acts to confuse the viewer even more to what is going on here.
In conclusion "The Hunt" isn't a perfect film, but it is a solid and fun movie with tons of violence, and a fun twisted look at the conservative and liberal parties that could act as a warning of a very real future that could happen if we don't change our way of thinking.
