Hunters (2020)

updated
Dreadful yet glorious
‘Hunters’ is set in the late 1970s where despite the long end of World War 2, the Nazis are successful in infiltrating the American society and they continue to kill holocaust survivors (Jews). In a very brutal opening shot, a Nazi who kills everyone present at a Barbecue party after his true-identity is revealed, direly announces that “only the dead know the end of war”.

Luckily, an ensemble of most unusual saviors, consisting of a weapon’s expert, a disguise artist, a soldier, a spy, a lock picker - you get the idea - called ‘Hunters’ is already on the Nazi’s trail, hunting them and bringing them to justice.

I couldn’t help but think of another Prime video thriller -‘The Boys’, while I was watching ‘Hunters’. Both shows have a grim and eerie undertone with a very densely packed plot and just the perfect touch of dark humor. Regardless of the show’s vast historical and cultural implication, it can be easily consumed as a dark, thriller drama. Only thing to be a little wary of is the unabashed gory, racial slurring and quite insensitive one-liners.
