Um þessa kvikmynd

The Hunt is a disturbing depiction of how a lie is taken as truth when gossip, doubt and malice are allowed to flourish and ignite a witch-hunt that soon threatens to destroy an innocent man's life. Lucas is just starting to get his life back together after losing his job and facing a difficult divorce, when his life is shattered by an untruthful remark, throwing his small community into a collective state of hysteria. As the lie spreads, Lucas is forced to fight a lonely battle for his life and dignity.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Except for a couple brief scenes, THIS ENTIRE MOVIE IS SUBTITLED!! This should be mentioned in the synopsis, not put in additional information at the bottom!! Google has no problem mentioning HD or that it has info cards! Why isn't subtitled mentioned there?? Or something as simple as writing the title of the movie in its ORIGINAL language, with a translation next to it. Oh yeah, would kill the sales.. BAD GOOGLE, BAD!!

When I first read the synopsis I was a bit hesitant to watch this film. However since I'm a fan of Mads, I thought I would give it a go. It was a choice I'm happy that I did because this film opened my eyes to this serious matter. I knew Mads was a great actor from seeing him in Hannibal, but his performance in this film is magnificent! You can't help but to feel sorry for his character and wishing the other characters could realize that it's all false lies targeted towards mad's character. If you haven't seen this movie, please take the time and watch it. It's a true eye opener!

Let me preface it by saying this is only the second 5 star review I've given for the '13 year (although' 'prisoners' deserved it as well) This is easily one of the year's best. Its very hard to watch, because you see how it all unfolds, more than innocently but properly, the character Lucas (Absolutely incredibly portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen.. I mean OMG BRILLIANT) does nothing wrong and everything correct, and i know that this sounds exaggerated but you cannot look away.. It simply is riveting.
