Hunt (2022)

No pun intended – and of course this is not about hunting animals. Also it does not just have one hidden truth – there will be multiple reveals here. And the whole thing is based on history, on real events (as a friend of mine told me). Which makes it almost necessary to dig in and find out more about actual events (because as happens often, this surely has done some heightened reality, which the beginning suggest too).The characters are well drawn, but also quite complicated. Also for people who may not watch too many Korean or Asian movies in general and have to concentrate on the subtitles, they may have some issues to distinguish the two main characters from time to time – no pun intended here either. Being confused about them may help elevate the suspense even further actually. Guessing game and all that.Action scenes are more than well shot and the twists will keep you guessing from start to finish. Just do not expect this to … resolve things the way you want it too. South Koread has a dark history too – they were apparently not always as free as they are now. And the movie is not shy about that fact. As it is not shy about blood and violence (good effects) … not for the faint hearted, but really well done.
