- What makes THE HUNTING PARTY an original, gonzo treat is the way that Shepard plants the movie's tone somewhere between hair-trigger investigative danger and the from-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire glee of a Hope/Crosby picture

  Middle of the road... acting and story.
  
  Average film at best. Not a very compelling story and Gere strolled through not really pushing his acting ability to the limit. The story never really grips you... read more »

  Don't bother.
  
  Waste of a rental. Awful script. Not a good movie at all.

  Nice bit of Richard Gere!
  
  Quite enjoyable. Had some funny comedy bits, action and a serious side. Lost its way a bit in the middle but Richard Gere never loses his appeal.

  The Hunting Party
  
  Basic plot was okay but actual idea of lightweight journalists attemtping to catch a deadly terrorist was as far fetched as a bucket of merde from China.
