Richard Gere has had two really good movie this past year. One was The Hoax, which I recommend and the other, this movie, The Hunting Party. The subject is really interesting and the acting was very good too. I enjoyed every bit of this movie. It also has many funny moments in it though it is a very intense and serious subject.
I recommend it to everybody.

The Hunting Party harkens back to a trend in the 1980s of films about journalists in war-torn Third World countries: Under Fire, The Killing Fields, and Salvador (Special Edition). These films featured flawed reporters putting their lives on the line for hard-hitting truths and righteous causes. In the 1990s, this trend seemed to fade with a few notable exceptions like The Insider but now The Hunting Party attempts to revive this type of film for our politically charged times.
For two thirds of The Hunting Party, director Richard Shepard (The Matador (Widescreen Edition)) maintains a tense mood while injecting moments of comedy as the protagonists get closer to the Fox and find themselves, rather frighteningly, at his mercy. However, for the last third, they turn the tables on their prey. The film ends on a wonderfully cheeky note with an epilogue that lets us know what was based on fact and what was made up. Most importantly, The Hunting Party asks questions like why are notorious war criminals in Bosnia have not been caught and with apparently very little to no effort? The audience is left to ponder the answer.
There is an audio commentary with writer/director Richard Shepard. He points out that they actually shot on location in Croatia and Bosnia. In the film's opening battle scenes, Gere and Howard did their own stunts (including being precarious close to real explosions). It was important for him to shoot on location because he wanted the cast and crew to see the places where the actual events took place. Shepard delivers an engaging, chatty track that is entertaining and informative.
Also included are six deleted scenes with optional commentary by Shepard. There is an extension of a scene where we learn how Duck got his nickname. There is a nice scene where our three protagonists discuss a conspiracy theory about the Fox. Shepard is fairly candid about why this footage was cut and laments the removal of some of it.
"Making The Hunting Party" features Shepard talking about how he wanted to make a film in a post-war city and first considered Baghdad but read a story in Esquire magazine about a group of journalists' search for a Bosnian war criminal and that inspired him to dramatize the story in a film.
"The Real Hunting Party" features Shepard interviewing two of the journalists - John Falk and Scott Anderson - included in the Esquire article that inspired the film for 30 minutes. The two reporters talk about the actual events and come across (not surprisingly) as very personable and natural storytellers.
"What I Did On My Summer Vacation" is the actual Esquire article and is a real nice touch that they included it on the DVD as you can now read the source material.
Finally, there is a theatrical trailer.

Never even heard of this movie and just happened across it. So glad I did! I loved the story of two war hardened (one disgraced) journalists who team up once again to hunt one of the Bosian war's most sadistic criminals. Based on the true story of five newsmen, I thought the script was clever, the story was satisfying and the chemistry between actors was equally as good. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good adventure tale including a look back at a war most Americans remember little about.

This film is so much better than it looks. It immediately captures your attention, and doesn't let go until the credits. It takes a serious subject and addresses it in a light, comical, but also very respectful way. Give it a chance.

The Hunting Party staring Richard Gere and terrence Howard is perhaps one of the best films of 2007 released in the Fall of 2007 this film was released in limited release in New York and Los Angeles. Then due to dismal performance it was only released to other cities in very limited release. So why is the Hunting Party suck a great film you ask. the reason great plot, actors, story and as much Dark Humor that will make you fall out of your seat. Based on a Esquire article by Journalist Scott Anderson, the article What I did on my Summer Vacation is about Five journalist who reunite Five years after the Bosnian war and decide to look for a war criminal. The film follows a similar plot. In the Film which is told through the perspective of a war camera man called Duck played by perhaps one of best actors of this generation Terrence Howard, he is now a assist to a high level Tv correspondent for a big news channel but longs for his crazy days covering the war in Bosnia with a now out casted Journalist Simon Hunt (Gere) while in Bosnia Simon and Duck reunite to find a war criminal called the fox, along with the help of a 1970's yellow Mercedes and a young Journalist in training who is also the son of a network Benjamin played by Jesse Eisenberg. One of the reasons for the films lackluster attendance was the films finite trailer and what it leaves out the film does have a plot besides the whole wild single men that the poster tries to sell you. As you watch the film you learn that Hunt is looking for the Fox because he killed his pregnant girlfriend a women from a Bosnian village also that everyone thinks they are CIA, and the wackiness that follows. What is so great is the films ability to funny, sad, and ridiculous all at the same time, even the films credits will shock you this film is not to be missed. Also the cameo by Diane Kruger known for her work in the National Treasure films shows her versatility as an actress in a short scene.
