Synopsis

On the fifth anniversary of the end of the civil war in Bosnia, former hot-shot reporter Simon Hunt (Richard Gere) mysteriously shows up, five years after imploding on live television and disappearing into a self-imposed exile. Reunited with his cameraman, Duck (Terrence Howard), who has been promoted to a cushy studio gig working with anchorman Franklin Harris (James Brolin), Simon convinces Duck to go on a dangerous journey to get an interview with a wanted war criminal known as 'The Fox' (Ljubomir Kerekes), based on the real-life Radovan Karadicz who was finally apprehended on 21st July 2008. They are joined by Ben (Jesse Eisenberg), the Harvard-educated nephew of a network executive who is in search of adventure and a good story. Together the three drive deep into Serb territory, facing more intrigue and danger than they ever could have imagined.
Writer-director Richard Shepard (THE MATADOR) loosely based THE HUNTING PARTY on an article Scott Anderson wrote for Esquire magazine entitled 'What I Did on My Summer Vacation', about five reporters who actually did go after Karadicz, and tried to capture him. Shepard infuses the film with a sly black humour and fills the story with a crazy cast of oddball characters, paying homage to Carol Reed's THE THIRD MAN, which was set in post-war Vienna. The three leads are excellent, especially Gere, who plays Hunt with a knowing grin that often hides what he's really up to. Shot on location in and around Sarajevo, lending the film an eerie reality, THE HUNTING PARTY--which claims at the beginning that 'only the most ridiculous parts of this story are true'--is a fun and fascinating political thriller.

3.0 out of 5 stars That Gere factor..., 7 Feb 2009

By	Jones the Film (Wales) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Hunting Party [DVD] [2007] (DVD)

This interesting tale, partly based on real events, has Richard Gere as battle hardened reporter Simon Hunt chasing after a war ciminal. His character's motivation is fueled by a very personal tragedy, one of so many in the horrific Balkan wars of the 1990s'.

If Hunt's character had been played by anybody but Gere it may have delivered better. He's not a versatile actor and he was the weak link in this tragic depiction of travesty and subsequent justice.

Terence Hoard as 'Duck' was convincing enough, as were many of the supporting cast. The terrible acts of genocide committed (in this instance by Serbs) should not be forgotten and it is a credit to the producers and director that they have chosen a difficult, but important subject to make into a feature film.

Not a classic, but stimulating nevertheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great journo movie, 7 Sep 2010

By	Terence Tan Co "tetsuo79" (Vancouver) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Hunting Party [DVD] [2007] (DVD)

Well its one of the best journo movies despite the fact that the ending is unrealistic but possible. Great movie.

However in comparison betweem the UK and US DVD.

UK DVD has better video(PAL video) but the US DVD has better extras(audio commentary, the UK DVD is missing this).

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but odd movie with a split personality..., 16 April 2010

By	Justice Peace "JP" (Aberdeen) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hunting Party [DVD] [2007] (DVD)

Gere plays this partly tongue-in-cheek even though it's meant to be a serious study of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia.
It is played as a 'buddy' movie which sits badly alongside the horrific rapes and murders that Gere, a news reporter, is supposedly unearthing and avenging.
I suspect that Gere only ever plays Gere: part drama queen, part comedian.
I bought this after seeing the trailer which is misleading because it is seriously dramatic unlike the movie.
Entertaining but very inconsistent.
Pity, could have been great. It's a wonderful subject for a serious movie.
JP :(
