The Hunting Party movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: If the director traffics in the realm of black comedy, any attempts to win us over or encourage sympathy or empathy with the rollicking hell-raisers on screen tend to give off a bad odor. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: The action plot is lousy with cliched suspense scenes of back-road executions halted at the last possible instant. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: When something seems too bizarre to be true, that's generally how it plays onscreen. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: The biggest problem with the movie is the tone, which is by turns preachy, silly, mawkish and dark. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: ...it does make room for the latest, loose-screw character part in the reinvention of Gere's career. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Compared to a great war zone movie about reporters such as Under Fire, The Hunting Party is thin stuff. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: I left feeling a bit uncomfortable, but the fact that Shepard gets away with it at all is a testament to his talent. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: The Hunting Party has good aim, but just misses. Read more
Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: Ludicrous, bewildering, and largely true (at least the "most ridiculous parts" according to the film's preface), it plays like an adventure story written by Kafka Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Although Gere and Howard's characters are invented, they feel the truest of all. They are often more foolhardy than courageous, less brave than simply stubborn. They are not real heroes, in the classic sense. But they are simply real. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: The opening credit disclaimer for writer-director Richard Shepard's The Hunting Party -- 'Only the most ridiculous parts of this story are true' -- didn't help me much. Everything about this political thriller is ridiculous. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: The film comes off more like a drunken recollection by a war correspondent than something that might actually have happened. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: The Hunting Party is a not dark enough, not comic enough dark comedy about the aftermath of the Serbo-Bosnian War. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: ...The Hunting Party derives much of its tension from watching seemingly 'normal' people doing seriously insane stuff. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: The Hunting Party is a complete bust, but the ways in which it fails are interesting. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: On paper, there's no way that The Hunting Party should work. But onscreen, it defies the odds. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: A sour, disenchanted war comedy that affects a breezy style, The Hunting Party was originally called Spring Break in Bosnia. Read more
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: Politics aside, The Hunting Party is a breezy, occasionally bumpy ride that ultimately becomes a satisfying journey. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Alternately glib, superficial and amusing, pic vainly attempts to absorb some degree of Serbian irony into a story that's unavoidably lessened by its privileged American vantage point. Read more
Robert Wilonsky, Village Voice: Like many of the best movies about war and its lingering echo, The Hunting Party is full of dark humor. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: A forgettable contribution to all those movies about tormented, gonzo newsmen, stranded in some hellish outpost (in this case, Bosnia), who drink to drown those terrible memories but are committed to news, news, news. Read more
