Hunter

Hunter is a prime example of how a movie should not be made.The repeated conversations through the narration and thoughts drives me crazy. In reality, this is more like a 45 minutes that has been stretched using this style.I don't know where this script came from, but I doubt that it could be developed into something great. It's like an amateur wrote this movie. I've seen college projects that were written better than this. The writer did not take the time to plant the seeds and watch the flowers blossom. The script may have been hurriedly written, but I feel that it was a mistake to turn it into a movie.I have never seen emotionless acting until this movie. The actors have not been coached well enough to develop, grow, and show empathy. The characters that they portray are shallow, selfish, and uncaring for the people all around them. The over all acting skills are very, very poor, at best.Verdict: Pass, do not purchase or waste your time viewing this movie.

This film reminds me of a more serious, film length version of Girls, but dealing with a more nuanced set of issues. It captures the searching ambiguity of life that contemporary urban millennials face. The small set of characters are all in search for a relationship in some way or another, whether it be romantic, sexual, or familial. Their identities aren't fully formed; they are all unsure of themselves in one way or another, which leads to missed connections, misread signals, and innocent yet clumsy encounters. That being said, this is not a comedy, but a serious, quiet film. All of the characters are quite developed, and the film's ending is much like the lives of the characters, intentionally unresolved. Some may not like the slower pacing or unresolved storylines, but the film is successful at capturing a snapshot of the angst-ridden lives of these characters.

the movie was just ok... the acting is mediocre at best. at times the story line gets a little confusing and blurred. The ending of the movie is poor and leaves you hanging.

It's just life, at least for some young people. The movie reaches no conclusion, beyond one of the lead characters is a mean drunk, but not mean enough to really matter. Overall, it was fairly pleasant. Characters take chances and who cares if they don't go much of anywhere. There is no apocalypse to be found in this, and I'm not looking for one.

Twenty-somethings who feel lonely living in the big city...sound interesting? Well, it is and it isn't. It is, because we are curious about these individuals and what exactly motivates them and why they feel so alienated. Particularly, the fellow Carter from Denver who shows up to meet a friend in the city, but strangely winds up at the doorstep of Gavin and Amy. Yet, in the end, this film winds-up not being so interesting, because we never find-out what motivates these individuals and why they are so morose and brooding. Good lord, if this is any kind of commentary on the twenty-somethings living in the big cities, we're in big trouble! Carter, the fellow who winds-up on the doorstep, has the most interesting details revealed, but we never learn why he responds as he does and what's holding him back from a very big event in his life, which is the reason he's in the city. It's all very dark and murky and maybe that is the view and feeling the writer and director wants to evoke, if so, mission accomplished, but it makes for a rather monotone and dull film. Not recommended, unless you think the current generation is doomed to loneliness and monotony.

Slow, monotone, uninteresting characters. Pretty much a horror best reserved for a night when you cannot sleep. The soundtrack alone is like fingernails on a chalk board.

I'm not a Millennial, but if this movie is an accurate representation of the lives of this generation, I would say that not a lot has changed in the 20 years since I was that age. I liked the pointless and unresolved ending because that's exactly how everything feels when you're 21 or 23. Having said that, I have to agree with the person who commented that if the actors -- and especially Gavin -- hadn't been so easy on the eyes, this movie would have been impossible to sit through in its entirety. If you're looking for the typical Hollywood movie with beginning, middle, and an end where everything gets neatly tied up and explained, you will be hugely disappointed by this film. Personally I was not disappointed and in fact would say that this is one of the few "Amazon Prime" movies I've watched, that wasn't a complete waste of time.

I had to watch this movie twice because I 'fast forwarded' the first time( trying to avoid boring scenes) and when the end came,I was left with a great: 'HAAAA?' So, second viewing to see if I missed something the first time, and hopefully would explain or clarify the ending! Unfortunately, it didn't! The character of Carter is deliberately shrouded in mystery, so the viewer never gets an idea of who he really is as a person! Is he gay, str8, bisexual or asexual? It seems we are left with the impression he is a 'Mama's Boy' dotted on by a possessive mother?The unresolved ending made this movie a candidate for a sequel! In one of the subtleties the author of this narrative leaves with us is when Carter discovers he left chain medallion his mother gave him at Gavins apartment, he goes up to the entrance to go in and get it, but stops, turns away and in a sprightly walk heads for the airport! (Don't you get it? It gives him an excuse to contact Gavin again and discuss its return and a possible get together in the future!)
