À propos de ce film

Le dernier film des productions Blumhouse est un véritable cauchemar éveillé, un thriller au suspense haletant dont l'action se déroule dans une Amérique bien trop proche de la réalité pour ne pas être terrifiante. Douze inconnus se réveillent dans une clairière. Ils ne savent ni où ils sont, ni comment ils sont arrivés là. Ils ne savent pas qu'ils ont été choisis dans un but bien spécifique... la chasse. Sur fond d'obscure théorie du complot sur internet, un groupe de dirigeants se rassemble pour la première fois dans un manoir retiré, afin de se divertir en chassant de simples citoyens américains. Mais leurs sombres desseins vont être mis en péril par Crystal (Betty Gilpin, Glow la série de Liz Flahive et Carly Mensch), une de leurs proies, capable de les battre à leur propre jeu. La jeune femme renverse les règles, et abat un par un les chasseurs qui la séparent de la mystérieuse femme (la doublement Oscarisée Hilary Swank) qui tire les ficelles de ce passe-temps macabre.

Notes et avis

This is very similar to previous battle royale movies. However, they put a very capable "Salt : Angelina Jolie" type in an unexpected lead. She has very little back story and that's fine. This movie is a run and gun type story with a few slow pieces in the middle. I enjoyed it as much as I did with Purge, BR, Blenko etc. It is quite fun and yes it's very political, however they're the extremes on both sides. Which is obviously satirical and making fun of both groups. It's merely a propellant for the story and that's really it. I watched the whole movie with a smile more or less on my face, because it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I'd recommend this to friends who like action or just like these types of movies.

This was supposed to be a thriller and all it did was make a joke out of Democrats and Replicans. I'm not a fan of the two party system myself but you don't see me making a multimillion dollar dumpster fire of a movie to bash on it (and not even in a funny way) do not give them your money. If you want this sort of thing done right go watch the purge.

Terrible movie. Definitely the worst movie I've seen this year, and one of the worst I've seen in a very long time. The first 20 minutes of the movie seemed like there would actually be something to the plot, but unfortunately it went way down hill. Very predictable if you pay any attention. The dialogue was very very corny. Don't waste the hour and a half on it.
