undeniably well-made and brutally effective, this gory thriller soon becomes sour and ugly due to its ruthless depiction of violence toward animals; it also ultimately lacks a real point or theme
it's a jarring journey, filled with twists that snap and sting like bear traps, and an endurance test, too, especially for the squeamish; The grim and grisly "Hunter Hunter" earns its unforgettable ending
Hunter Hunter's astonishing success hinges on its performances. As great as seasoned actors Stahl and Sawa are in their roles, this film belongs to Camille Sullivan; She taps into a raw, primal power that's impressive as it is adrenaline-pumping
"Hunter Hunter" is a thrilling-in-spurts standoff about how evil still finds those who lock themselves away, and rightly wonders if shutting away is useful protection
"Hunter Hunter" delivers a cinematic gut punch at the conclusion; Camille Sullivan is particularly memorable, delivering the sort of galvanizing, physically and emotionally demanding turn; anyone who does see the film won't be forgetting it anytime soon
