Too dimwitted to be disappointing.

Like a Luc Besson film put through a deflavorizing machine to remove any element that could be distinctive, energetic, or fun.

A routine but reasonably diverting B-movie about a conscience-stricken hit man and the girl he opts not to kill.

...familiar yet workable territory that’s employed to watchable (albeit entirely forgettable) effect by Mostow...

2/5

The modest scope of B-movie action thriller The Hunter's Prayer can be gauged by the fact that its big-time criminal tycoon (played by Downton Abbey's Allen Leech) has his international headquarters in Leeds.

It's just meh… the villain is completely unbelievable and the supposed thick network of bad guys and dirty business is never explored enough to make any of it credible. Some action scenes were decent enough though. The Movie could have been so much more. It felt lazy

The Action Scenes Were Good, But The Plot Twists Had Stupid Holes & Parts (Specific Character Alliances) That Came Out Of Nowhere & Really DID NOT Make Sense.

This was really unbearable to watch. Had to switch off after an hour of watching! Storyline lacks depth; poor acting; and a hell of a lot of mumbling from the lead actor!
