The Hunt (2020) - Vietnamese title: Hunting is one of the most anticipated movies in the US in 2019, but eventually for some reason related to the content of the film's political criticism, until March / 2020, this cinematographic work will be shown in some US theaters in the context of the booming Covid-19 epidemic .

I. REVIEW FILMS

Plot: A group of 12 strangers wake up to find themselves transported to a wilderness. They are given a choice of weapons for self-defense and hide the pursuit and murder of mysterious hunters. Who will be the last survivor on this hunt and what is the real plot behind the above metamorphosis game? Watch the movie to get the answer.

Watching the trailer and listening to WebTech360 summarizes the movie as above, surely anyone who watches horror or survival movies will feel quite attractive but a bit boring because the above content is too familiar, right? However, do not worry too much because the arrangement and implementation of The Hunt (2020) are extremely intelligent, making the film circuit continuous, new and you can hardly take your eyes off any minute. seconds of the movie.

The Hunt (2020) is a pure survival horror film, so the gore element in the movie is very intense. The shooting and killing scenes are recreated naked, the fighting scenes are played painfully, will surely make many of you frown. Therefore, if the viewer is not suitable for this genre, absolutely do not watch or at least do not watch while eating.

This horror film also has quite a lot of plot twists, of which the best are the surprises that The Hunt (2020) brings to viewers because we cannot know who will be the next dead and how. How will they leave? Thanks to this, the film becomes more attractive and the more dramatic and tense the end it gets.

Despite taking the subject of killing gruesome, the producers seem to like to play around with the deaths of the characters in The Hunt (2020) . You will have to clumsily shake your head because you didn't expect the movie to be so muddy and bizarre. Many times, I thought that I was watching an Indian movie with details that rejected the laws of physics and the characters were awake, crazy, making viewers cry and laugh with every detail of the film.

Behind the story of killing each other for survival mentioned above, The Hunt (2020) contains many deep criticisms of politics and many other issues in American society . It is difficult for us Vietnamese audiences to understand the movie's tales, so Americans who watch this film will surely find the film better and more meaningful. In addition, the film also talks about the harmful effects of keyboard heroes and online statements that WebTech360 will discuss in more detail in the movie Explanation section. I quite like this perverted plot, so please grade the content of the movie 8.5 out of 10 .

Image : As mentioned above, the rendering and rendering of the killing scenes in the movie are very naked and realistic, bringing a feeling of chills or stress relief very well for those who love this genre. The action in the movie is very well-planned, powerful, powerful, cool, and especially the final battle of The Hunt (2020) is quite long and satisfying. WebTech360 scores this section 8/10 .

Sound: WebTech360 is quite fond of movies that use classical music as background music because it creates danger, intelligence and perversion in it. The Hunt (2020) has used this very well, combined with the fast film circuit and attractive details, giving viewers immersion in this real-life PUBG game . WebTech360 also scored 8/10 sound too.

Acting: The Hunt (2020) brings together a lot of actors, of which the most familiar with you is the beautiful girl Emma Roberts (Scream, Hill of Eden) . WebTech360 is confident that many of you will be surprised by this role of Emma friend (whenever you see the movie, you will understand immediately). The other actors all performed very well their roles, crazy, ecstatic and left countless impressions in the hearts of viewers. So I will also give 8/10 acting .

Assessment scale:

IMDB: 6.4 / 10 (17,336 votes)

Metascore: 50/100

Rotten Tomatoes: 54/100 ( Rotten Tomatoes )

In short , The Hunt (2020) - Hunting is a survival horror movie that is hard to ignore for hardcore fans of this genre. Gore, intelligence, humor, pervert, coolness and deep satire seem to be the best adjectives to describe this movie. Certainly The Hunt (2020) will not be shown in Vietnamese theaters, so you will take advantage of it to find it, it won't waste 80 minutes of watching.

II. MOVIE EXPLANATION

In this part, I will quickly explain some details of The Hunt (2020) movie to help you have a deeper look at this perverted movie. Come on, let's get started! (Well, this part does reveal the content of the movie, so you should consider it before you watch it.)

1. What happened in The Hunt (2020)

The story of The Hunt (2020) begins when a group of successful business people chat with each other, joking about they are going to participate in a hunting contest at Athena 's mansion - CEO of a company. big. This message has been hacked and some Hero keyboard components rely on that, laying the thing and inflating the story further.

Because of such media crisis, the Supervisory Boards of the companies that these entrepreneurs are working for have asked them to quit their jobs. Angry at the above action of the " plum family ", the people who were laid off gathered and planned to make the hunting of people come true.

With nothing but time and money, the rich people mentioned above have hired a military expert to train their hunting skills as well as give tactical advice. They prepared everything 8 months in advance and put up a list of 13 people across the country who had spread, turning a harmless message into such a disastrous ending for them.

On the day of the hunt, they kidnapped the 13 people and put them on a super jet to come to Athena 's house in Croatia . On the flight, 1 in 13 kidnapped woke up and the hunters had to kill him even though he had not started the game.

After that, 12 players are dropped into an empty lot with a wooden crate in the middle which contains a variety of weapons for the participants to choose from. The hunt begins and hunters hiding in the bunker take turns shooting and killing the players. All were on plates except for Crystal - who used to be a soldier in Afghanistan .

With her skilled military skills, she quickly sought and killed the rich who organized this game. The last boss Crystal has to defeat is Athena . The two chatted with each other and Athena seemed to understand all about who Crystal and her parents were. However, Crystal claims that Athena captured the wrong person because her surname is Crystal Mae , not Crystal May, as Athena 's list of keyboard heroes .

Speaking of which, do not know if there is a mistake or not, the two people rushed to fight ashore and down the field. Eventually Athena died and Crystal was still able to use a torch to "weld" the wound. She changed beautifully in Athena 's locker , picked up a bottle of precious wine and boarded her own private jet, asking the crew to take her home.

Is Crystal really captured by mistake?

As mentioned in part 1 above, during her conversation with Athena , Crystal assumed that Athena had captured the wrong person. Would Crystal lie about this? According to WebTech360, she must be serious, because her face is both crazy and cool, and she used to participate in battles in a foreign country, probably not free to go online to weave some tales about the world. Where is the rich family flower?

Besides, Crystal's claim Athena had captured the wrong person as if to prove that the game was really wrong. Similar to the movie Hunger Hole with the appearance of a child under the age of 16, a message that the prison system in the film works against the rules, capturing the wrong Athena player shows that this hunting game is only They can satisfy their beasts, but not to avenge the spread of fake news online.

3. Some interesting details of The Hunt (2020)

The names of the characters are funny and intentionally placed based on their looks or personality traits. For example, there is a character named Yoga Pants because she now wears tight blue pants like Yoga pants. Crystal means crystal, representing this heroine's steadiness, coldness (in addition to her nickname Snowball ). Meanwhile, Athena is the name of the goddess of war , powerful but also very belligerent.

+ According to some sources, the hunter side and the hunted person represent the two US parties. Fighting each other but in the end the neutralizer was the last survivor.

+ Crystal is Rabbit also Athena is the turtle in the story that the mother rabbit and turtle Crystal told her as a child. In the end when defeating Athena , Crystal saw the rabbit further emphasize this implication.

+ Snowball (nickname of Crystal ) is the name of a cartoon bunny in Class pet . In the novel The Ranch, Snowball is the name of a young pig, standing up against the autocratic leadership of another pig named Napoleon .

+ In the movie there are many pigs dressed in clothes running around. The pigs here represent both the elite but also the hunters. In turn, Athena chose pig as a symbol for this game because she likes the book Animal Farm - satirical novel satire and criticism of the regime of dictator.
