An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but, since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Sure, the concept was nothing really original but I always had a weak spot for the genre and, in fact, when the actual ‘hunt’ did start, I have to admit that I actually liked the approach they took. Indeed, at first, they focused on Emma Roberts and you might logically think that she would be the main character since she is fairly famous but, then, she was surprisingly killed within 5 mins. Then they focused on someone else who was also killed  and then they did this trick with yet another character. It might sound like a gimmick (it actually was) but I thought it was a refreshing approach. However, this device was probably narratively not strong enough to carry the whole movie so they finally settled down at some point and focused on Betty Gilpin who actually played the main character. By the way, even though her character was barely developed after all, Gilpin was actually really badass playing some kind of pissed off female version of Jason Bourne. Unfortunately, these were the only things that actually did work in this movie. First of all, the damned thing looked cheap but, obviously, it wasn't the biggest issue though. Indeed, even though it seemed to be a horror feature (after all, it was produced by Blumhouse), they also tried to make it a comedy but the jokes were just terrible. It was some kind of political satire but you might wonder if it was catered for the left-wing viewers or the right-wing viewers. Basically, both sides were depicted as being, at best, seriously moronic, and at worst, pretty much despicable. Anyway, the end-result was basically watching a bunch of lame and appalling characters trying to kill another bunch of lame and appalling characters which was obviously not really interesting or entertaining. To conclude, even if it wasn’t a complete disaster, it was still rather weak though and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
