(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   C+ "A political statement cloaked in the animal skin of satire, Party is more easily digested as a highly effective acting exercise than a brutal karate-chop to geopolitical-soft minds."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf C ""The Hunting Party" is a would-be political satire that paints itself into a corner before leaving a trail of unsightly footprints."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "It's likely you've heard that "war has its bright side," but in The Hunting Party, Duck (Terrence Howard) speaks with the sort of authority that comes with experience, as if he's telling you something you don't know."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/4 "Richard Shepard brings the same obnoxious, flashy style and go-nowhere satirical instincts to The Hunting Party that he applied to The Matador and the pilot episode of ABC's Ugly Betty."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B+ "A great yarn in the spirit of cynical war pictures like 'Three Kings.'"   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "Adorns its bankrupt inanity in the robes of Importance"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce C+ "A mixture of seriousness and humor that doesn't quite gel...easier to respect for its ambition than to praise for its achievement."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "A dismal misfire that attempts to make black comedy out of the adventures of war correspondents and the dirty business of international politics."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "[A] bitterly funny pill of a flick..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Whenever the film threatens to get bogged down in self-seriousness, Shepard quickly retreats to satiric cynicism."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina B+ "As they say, the difference between movies and real life is that real life does not have to make sense. And that is what it takes to make crazy times real to us in a way that the truth cannot convey."   Chicago Sun-Times   Nell Minow B " The Hunting Party is not a serious film but it handles serious material deftly."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2.5/5 "wants to cover a lot of ground, but shortchanges most of it."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 7/10 "A cynical political thriller about reckless TV journalists-turned-bounty hunters, highlighting the absurdity of war."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
