paulclaassen The first half of the film is a fabulous adrenaline rush and very unpredictable. There are a few flaws, though. I mean, what are the chances of the girl finding a phone in the bathroom when she wants to need the loo? She is also amazingly eager to trust the man hired to kill her. The whole assassination story is not very credible. Allen Leech plays a businessman who hires a hitman to kill a family because of betrayal. In one scene he says he will not be made a fool of, therefore he wants to kill the entire family. Would a high profile businessman risk everything to kill a family. He goes further saying he wants to make an example of them to the rest of his employees. Uhm, so he is actually going to tell everyone he killed them?? How else would he make an example of them? In a phone conversation with Lucas he said he wants to assassinate the family because the father working for him stole a lot of money from him, but he only recently learnt of that from a corrupt FBI agent who told him. She knew and he didn't? The ending also questions credibility: when Lucas goes to the basement to save the girl, he asks the baddies to remove her gag but doesn't even think of asking them to put down their weapons!!?? And an assassin can't even kill someone right in front of him?? Apart from all that, though, the film is thoroughly entertaining and Sam Worthington truly is a worthy actor. The acting in general is very good, especially from young Odeya Rush. The film also does have a satisfying ending, so all and all, I enjoyed 'The Hunter's Prayer'.
erwinscooter In the scene where the assassin ejects the cartridge out his weapon then removes the magazine to make the young girl feel safe is very unrealistic. He, being a professional shooter would have known that by doing so, the slide would have picked up another round out of the magazine, leaving a live round in the chamber even after the magazine was removed. Typical bad screen play / directing. Unknowledgable ( ignorant)I could go on because there were many other scenes with similar ignorance but I'm am just going to say poorly research film saved only by the camera / scene imagery and decent acting , good editing etc... Director,,, put your nose against the wall... poor choices...
jonrivera420 I liked the movie. It was realistic action and the story was entertaining enough to not get bored during the movie. Even though it wasn't released in theaters it was done high quality compared to other Hollywood blockbusters. It was kind of reminded me of a mix between taken and the transporter. Don't know why others hated on it. It was a good movie. Better than a lot of the other action movies I've seen that are super cheesy. It was better than I expected
HealthyLove The Hunter's Prayer is a British-American action thriller film directed by Jonathan Mostow, based on Kevin Wignall's novel "For the Dogs." "The Hunter's Prayer" follows Lucas (Worthington), a solitary assassin, hired to kill a young woman, Ella, (Rush), who is unaware that her family's questionable business dealings have cost them their lives. However, when Lucas can't bring himself to pull the trigger, the two form a bond and escape across Europe together, hunted by those responsible for her family's murder.Rated R (for violence, drug use and language).This Film Is Absolutely An Excellent Thriller For All The Family. Parents Should Watch It With Their Children,there is no sex at all and the violence is much better than that of Abu Ghraib Prison Torture In Iraq .
