Dark thrilling drama with elements of suspense and foreboding.

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2017)

As far as mystery thrillers go, there are too many out there that even the common laymen could name you at least 3 top films. That being said, this movie doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't. It is an exceptionally foul toned movie and will continue to show that even debuting directors can be incredibly fanatical about gritty details, Such as blood, Sexual encounters and death. This movie sets the scene early on with gore that you would usually find in 80's action flicks, but appropriately honours the horror but all too true reality of hunters, both for animals and humans.
Jeremy Renner plays our lead and already becomes a hero in the viewers eyes early on. It is very typical to find that in these sorts of movies, the anti-hero tends to sway away from the police needing assistance only to appear later to save the day, However, We get a fresh new look at a character who wants to help and with a backstory as dark as can be, give's us a reason to love Jeremy Renners every day man persona. you want him to succeed, you want him to say yes, you want him to shoot that SOAB.
Elizabeth Olsen is certainly a fresh enough face around cinemas these days but she has a strong screen presence in most of her works and this film is no exception. She portrays an FBI agent that we already grow to appreciate and as the movie kicks off with varying action sequences, we are on the edges of our seats, constantly wanting the hero to win and that is how you know characters are written well, you care.
Very little to be said about this movie other than it is an excellent thriller, a must see.
