Providence Journal (Michael Janusonis)
Orlando Sentinel (Roger Moore)
The Hunting Party is a not dark enough, not comic enough dark comedy about the aftermath of the Serbo-Bosnian War. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Orlando Sentinel (Roger Moore)
Maxim (Pete Hammond)
A fast-paced, smart and exciting black comedy that is a wild trip, a nifty mixture of acerbic wit and suspense that would totally absurd if its most incredible parts didn't happen to be true. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Maxim (Pete Hammond)
IGN Movies (Todd Gilchrist)
Gere and Howard elevate a reality-based thriller into a dynamic character study. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at IGN Movies (Todd Gilchrist)
St. Paul Pioneer Press (Chris Hewitt (St. Paul))
It has the feel of a bold idea that has been watered down. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at St. Paul Pioneer Press (Chris Hewitt (St. Paul))
Detroit Free Press (Terry Lawson)
The Hunting Party has good aim, but just misses. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Detroit Free Press (Terry Lawson)
Sacramento Bee (Carla Meyer)
Set in postwar Bosnia, The Hunting Party is all over the place in tone and seeming intent. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Sacramento Bee (Carla Meyer)
Chicago Tribune (Michael Phillips)
If the director traffics in the realm of black comedy, any attempts to win us over or encourage sympathy or empathy with the rollicking hell-raisers on screen tend to give off a bad odor. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Chicago Tribune (Michael Phillips)
The Miami Herald (Rene Rodriguez)
Creative Loafing (Matt Brunson)

Newsday (Jan Stuart)
A smart and tense diversion, albeit in a vaguely irresponsible way. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Newsday (Jan Stuart)
Los Angeles Daily News (Bob Strauss)
The Hunting Party looks chillingly authentic. But it also feels too much like it's all over the map. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Los Angeles Daily News (Bob Strauss)
TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
A dismal misfire that attempts to make black comedy out of the adventures of war correspondents and the dirty business of international politics. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
New York Post (Lou Lumenick)

filmcritic.com (Sean O'Connell)
Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)
Compared to a great war zone movie about reporters such as Under Fire, The Hunting Party is thin stuff. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)
Slant Magazine (Ed Gonzalez)
Richard Shepard only thinks he knows how to fake it so real that he's beyond fake, bringing the same obnoxious, flashy style and go-nowhere satirical instincts to The Hunting Party that he applied to The Matador and the pilot episode of ABC's Ugly Betty. ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at Slant Magazine (Ed Gonzalez)
EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)
Lacking any dramatic credibility or historical authenticity, Richard Shepard's "The Hunting Party" is a schizoid movie that can't decide what it is about, what approach to take to its potentially interesting issues, and in what mode and tone to describe ...read the complete Hunting Party movie review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)
