3.5 Stars psychological Tragedy
Verified purchase
Constantly surrounded by noise and people, living in Manhattan & Brooklyn actually can be superficial and isolating, especially if you are 21/22.

Knowing people to invite them to a birthday party is no sign of a meaningful relationship. Some people just don't want to be alone. Some people are desperate to not be alone. Companionship can be misinterpreted as caring.

It takes a mysterious 23 years old man to upend established modes of behavior. He passes out in front of strangers's apartments. Either that's only asking for trouble or is a sign of reckless self-destruction or both. Talk about depending on the kindness of strangers! Can he be believed? Can he be trusted?

Gavin (Jack Falahee) is evasive and noncommittal as he uses others.

The acting was quite good.

The ending did leave more questions unanswered than answered.

Where goest thou? (Hunter)
Verified purchase
I had to watch this movie twice because I 'fast forwarded' the first time( trying to avoid boring scenes) and when the end came,I was left with a great: 'HAAAA?' So, second viewing to see if I missed something the first time, and hopefully would explain or clarify the ending! Unfortunately, it didn't! The character of Carter is deliberately shrouded in mystery, so the viewer never gets an idea of who he really is as a person! Is he gay, str8, bisexual or asexual? It seems we are left with the impression he is a 'Mama's Boy' dotted on by a possessive mother?
The unresolved ending made this movie a candidate for a sequel! In one of the subtleties the author of this narrative leaves with us is when Carter discovers he left chain medallion his mother gave him at Gavins apartment, he goes up to the entrance to go in and get it, but stops, turns away and in a sprightly walk heads for the airport! (Don't you get it? It gives him an excuse to contact Gavin again and discuss its return and a possible get together in the future!)

The character's the thing
Verified purchase
In a sense that evokes documentary but not quite cinema verite, viewers are whisked into the sheltered existence of two New Yorkers with waton lifestyles that gets upended by a vagabond embarking on his own waton journey. Try to catchup and pinpoint the character of each of the three main individuals and the supporting cast that cameos into their spinning world of melodrama. Finally, after a romp of bland adventures, we leave the cast mostly unchanged and unscathed--unshakened. After all, if a vital check disappears, one only need to pick up the phone and request a replacement, unless you've nested a stranger into your bedroom, then one panics. If the stove--a resource which one uses to process the hunted and gathered nutrients--has failed, why bother to restore it to operating order? As long as there is beer and takeout, we live; we survive. So, for what is Gavin hunting? A bit of un-loneliness; but, not too close.

Can I Give This Zero Stars!
Verified purchase
Hunter is a prime example of how a movie should not be made.

The repeated conversations through the narration and thoughts drives me crazy. In reality, this is more like a 45 minutes that has been stretched using this style.

I don't know where this script came from, but I doubt that it could be developed into something great. It's like an amateur wrote this movie. I've seen college projects that were written better than this. The writer did not take the time to plant the seeds and watch the flowers blossom. The script may have been hurriedly written, but I feel that it was a mistake to turn it into a movie.

I have never seen emotionless acting until this movie. The actors have not been coached well enough to develop, grow, and show empathy. The characters that they portray are shallow, selfish, and uncaring for the people all around them. The over all acting skills are very, very poor, at best.

Verdict: Pass, do not purchase or waste your time viewing this movie.

" It's a shame 2 good actors--Jack Falahee
Verified purchase
The story is there but not enough. The dialogue is poorly written with awkward silence. Characters are shallow and atypical of NYC. Who read this script and thought "this must be filmed?" It's a shame 2 good actors--Jack Falahee, Giles Matthey--are in it but they both went on to do bigger things. Their acting is good, despite the writing, but others shouldn't quite their day jobs or should look for a different line of work. If you have nothing else to watch, this might be good. Just don't expect much excitement.

Simple, fleshed out, a story without a story
Verified purchase
I liked it. If you are looking for a big story with lots of action leave now. This is not for you. This is more of a younger (and slightly better) version of weekend. Focus shifts between Gavin and two other friends. If you like meloncholy, watch this. Or if you just want to relax and see people acting like normal stuckin life people, watch it as well

Pointless
Verified purchase
This was not a movie. This was not a script. These may or may not have been performances. There is no plot. There is no narrative. And at some point, you just wonder where this came from, where it's going, and why you bothered. I'm fine with "make the audience work." But give me something. I'm far from stupid, but this left me shaking my head and rolling my eyes in frustration.

I liked the pointless and unresolved ending
Verified purchase
I'm not a Millennial, but if this movie is an accurate representation of the lives of this generation, I would say that not a lot has changed in the 20 years since I was that age. I liked the pointless and unresolved ending because that's exactly how everything feels when you're 21 or 23. Having said that, I have to agree with the person who commented that if the actors -- and especially Gavin -- hadn't been so easy on the eyes, this movie would have been impossible to sit through in its entirety. If you're looking for the typical Hollywood movie with beginning, middle, and an end where everything gets neatly tied up and explained, you will be hugely disappointed by this film. Personally I was not disappointed and in fact would say that this is one of the few "Amazon Prime" movies I've watched, that wasn't a complete waste of time.
