Hunted Down

 

Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Not quite up there with Mission to Mars, Interstellar, Ad Astra, and Congo - but in the next category down.

I could go on, but I won't. It's rankly amateurish and awful in script, acting, casting, music, and camera angles. And boring. 'nuff said.

If you had the misfortune to see it - what, in your opinion, was this train wreck trying to say? Was it pro-liberal or Trumpy?

I think it was neither. I think it was trying to say something like - even with good intentions, the world is complicated, and even liberal people with the best of liberal credentials sometimes do bad things.

The internet seems to mostly agree. I like this review from The Guardian:

"It is worryingly muddled and contrived, perhaps in need of further script drafts to excavate a clearer and more satisfying drama inside... they are all doing their considerable best, each frankly hampered by the unfocused and uncertain characterisation in the material itself, which, by the time it finally reaches its coda-finale of confrontation, is almost bizarrely inert, anticlimactic and incoherent. The movie is clenched with its own sense of contemporary relevance and risky blurred lines, saddled with an almost deafening score that often grinds straight through the dialogue; the drama becomes an atonal quartet of self-consciousness. One particularly weird and unearned mannerism is periodically introducing a pointlessly loud timebomb-style ticking on the soundtrack, something brought out in lieu of actual suspense but which never leads to anything as clear or interesting as an explosion."

OUCH.
