The actor’s charisma keeps the formulaic movie afloat, while director Collins displays a flair for action scenes.

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.

Mel Gibson puts forth an effort in this pedestrian low-budget crime thriller that hardly seems worth the trouble.

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]

Someone get Gibson to a chiropractor because his back must hurt from carrying this movie.

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

The movie tells us that safety is an illusion, but family and courage are real. Even if you want a quiet life, you must be ready to stand up for what is right when evil comes to your door.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Just your typical budget B movie. Hollywood is running out of ideas. Seems like every movie is the same. Drug dealers, corrupt cops, and the Cartel. And the protagonist is always a loner family man or ex-military and has to save someone and kill them all. Decent movie to waste an hour and a half on but Mel Gibson has done better movies.

Hunting Season is a solid, tense watch with great atmosphere and strong performances. It takes its time building suspense and keeps you hooked, making it a good pick if you’re into moody, slow-burn thrillers.

MEL DOES IT AGAIN!! I was anticipating this since I first saw the trailer and needless to say I was not disappointed!! A great movie with a great story,acting and hard hitting action scenes! It has a smaller budget than Mel's early days but that doesn't stop this movie for firing on all cylinders.Reminds me of the good old days just great action and story.Watch it it's great!!!

Solid, slow-burn, low budget Thriller with a good Mel Gibson, who levitates the production. The story doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it’s refreshing to see a decent movie without excessive use of CGI, without stretching the plot unnecessarily, but to keep it within 90 minutes, and without ignoring the physics in action scenes, but keeping the shootouts straight and short. A fair movie.
