If this had been an American movie, instead of the hunter group being a collection of regular white collar types, they all would have been ex-military, or thugs, and been fully aware that there was going to be need of using their weapons. Likewise, the protagonist would have been a badass outdoorsman, and the girl somehow gifted.

Instead, we see a group of regular guys pushed into commiting murder, and then willingly covering it up to nawe their own asses.

While I didn’t like the film for the reasons you stated Paul, I thought making all the characters normal was a better choice than would have been made in Hollywood.

It seems like this movie had a lot of potential. The concept is like a combination of A Simple Plan and Cliffhanger. I haven’t seen Savage yet, but it sounds like The Hunt could have been like it.
