The Hunter's Prayer

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.

Worthington, ostensibly an old hand by now at cut-rate thrillers, pulls off the ignominious trick of seeming as if he were a bouncer randomly cast in his first movie.

The biggest sin The Hunter's Prayer commits is being too dumb to enjoy.

The Hunter's Prayer packs its brisk 85 minutes with an impressive array of car chases, gun fights, hand-to-hand combat, and foot pursuits, all cut with a precision and an economy that heightens the impact of every hit.

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.

The Hunter's Prayer provides for a subversive take on the thriller genre...

There's nothing remotely interesting or stimulating in the latest rogue-assassin-turned-good wannabe thriller, The Hunter's Prayer.

Action-thrillers are usually right up my alley, but colour me unimpressed by this average offering.
