The Hunter’s Prayer packs its brisk 85 minutes with an impressive array of car chases, gun fights, hand-to-hand combat, and foot pursuits, all cut with a precision and an economy that heightens the impact of every hit. Read full review

The Hunter’s Prayer isn’t in that top drawer. But with action auteur Jonathan Mostow (“Breakdown”) behind the camera and Sam Worthington in front of it, it gives fair value — and then some — as it treads a well-worn path. Read full review

The Hunter’s Prayer is like a Luc Besson film put through a deflavorizing machine to remove any element that could be distinctive, energetic, or fun. Read full review

Even though the movie tries to sneak in some subtext about children paying for the sins of their fathers, the biggest sin The Hunter’s Prayer commits is being too dumb to enjoy. Read full review

Action movies don’t necessarily need logic, but in the absence of entertainment value, tracking what doesn’t make sense is often the only fun. Read full review

I liked the movie, but I didn't like some decisions that characters made. They just didn't make any sense. I don't know, maybe it is not for everyone, but I felt it was an ok movie

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot was so generic, it wasn't funny. This movie didn't do Worthington justice. Even the car chases and actions scenes were dull to the point it was frustrating. I kept waiting till the end to feel a thrill, a spark or anything- alas, the movie didn't generate any. I just didn't know what to make of the lead characters- especially, the one played by Odeya Rush. Her character did stupid things that didn't even make any sense. Overall, this movie was a total disappointment.… Expand

Le réalisateur Jonathan Mostow est tombé bien bas... c'est tout de même le gars qui a délivré un très bon et très drolatique Terminator 3 ! mais ici il s'est viandé dans de la série B qui sent pas bon, déjà avariée avant d'être livrée...

Scénario à la masse, réalisation cut and move à la rue (attention, c'est épileptogène) et un certes sympathique mais dépassé Sam Worthington qui tourne n'importe quoi... pour la gamelle. A noter la présence du jeune Martin Compston, un acteur prometteur vu dans l'excellente série Line of Duty. Mais bon, c'est juste pour l'anecdote, car une daubasse pareille sur le CV, ça fait désordre.

Alors, mes pauvres acteurs, mon pauvre réalisateur, la vie est dure mais il faut se ressaisir : se retrouver dans une bouse pareille ça ne peut donner que de la merde !… Expand

An unbearably stupid plot and no less stupid dialogues. Too much unnecessary pause. Very often, dramatic scenes, according to the director's intention, cause a smile or laughter.
