Five years after a meltdown on national TV, journalist Simon Hunt joins forces with a former colleague, and a cub reporter to find the No.1 war criminal in Bosnia. However, their extremely dangerous target decides to come after them.
It's not a bad story as far as it goes, and says a lot about the strange culture war journalism ... [but] no story, no matter how interesting, can't do without a little bit of the Hollywood treatment, and "The Hunting Party" suffers that in spades.
The most intriguing parts of this film are contained in the voice-over montage in the beginning and a surprise ending, leaving a lot of filler in the middle.
Ludicrous, bewildering, and largely true (at least the "most ridiculous parts" according to the film's preface), it plays like an adventure story written by Kafka
