Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Dec 3
The actor’s charisma keeps the formulaic movie afloat, while director Collins displays a flair for action scenes. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Dec 31
2/5
There's not much that's new or fresh in this creaky story of innocents getting inadvertently mixed up with criminals, and it's all made worse by the flat, dull characters and a general cluelessness. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Dec 19
Mel Gibson puts forth an effort in this pedestrian low-budget crime thriller that hardly seems worth the trouble. Go to Full Review

6/10
For fans of the actor, it's a chance to see Mel Gibson at his best, proving in his sixties that he can still embody a tough, formidable antihero. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

A solid Gibson gives a sturdy foundation to the narrative, but his younger co-stars are just as good. Go to Full Review

Matt J @RT95392035 18h I thought it was decent. Feels like one of Liam's flicks. Gibson does a good job in it though, and an entertaining dad vs mafia story. See more Genetk44 T @RT20394601 1d Slow but watchable. Not Gibson’s most memorable movie but ok. Worst part for me was the sound editing. Seems many movies nowadays the background music is always louder than the dialogue…its really annoying. See more Dr. P. @RT59987068 3d Dragged on, little character build up. Good acting, terrible directing. Time I can’t get back 😕 See more Bruce L. @pharmboy1603 Apr 4 This is one of those films that if you pay to watch it you will regret the price. Kind of a lame premise, with very little character development. The action primarily comes in the last 20 minutes of the movie. See more sylvio F @RT04184287 Mar 13 O filme é ruim. A história é ruim, As interpretações são forçadas. MEl Gibson parece um ator amador de teatro escolar. A atriz que interpreta a filha dele deve continuar desconhecida, pois é péssima. O vilão é uma carictarura forçada. O roteiro é ruim, com fatos desconexos. OS diálogos chegam a ser patéticos. Não vale o tempo gasto. Não é nem de perto o Mel Gibson de Máquina Mortifera ou do Patriota. Enfim, é triste ver a decadência de um antigo grande ator em filme menos que "C". See more Pablo B @PabloBlanco Mar 7 In a film landscape exhausted by "subversive" tropes that prioritize lectures over legends, Mel Gibson’s Hunting Season is a masterpiece of cinematic defiance. It subverts modern expectations by doing the one thing most directors are too afraid to do: tell a straight story. There are no "unpredictable" endings here designed to leave the audience feeling cheated or confused. Instead, the film honors the viewer’s investment with a definitive, high-stakes conclusion. Even more refreshing is the total absence of identity politics. There is no moral grandstanding or social posturing; the characters are defined by their grit and their actions, not their demographics. This is a "good old-fashioned" action flick in the best sense. It’s a visceral, high-octane ride where the lines between right and wrong are clear, and the good guy actually wins. By ignoring the urge to be "edgy," Hunting Season becomes an instant classic.
