The Hunter’s Prayer is a thriller (described as high octane in the billing), focusing on Lucas (Sam Worthington), a solitary assassin, hired to kill a young woman, Ella (Odeya Rush). When he can’t bring himself to pull the trigger, the plan falls apart, setting in motion a twisted game of cat and mouse. Now both are marked for death and forced to form an uneasy alliance. elentlessly pursued across Europe, their only hope for survival is to expose those responsible for brutally murdering her family and bring them to justice.
So, it sounds like everything we’ve seen before, and the trailer even bigs up the director, Jonathan Mostow, for having taken the lead on Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines(!) Ok, so Kurt Russell’s Breakdown was a decent film, but T3?? That was rubbish!!!
On the plus side, it also stars Line of Duty‘s Martin Compston and Fortitude‘s Verónica Echegui.
The Hunter’s Prayer is released in the US on June 9th in the US, but there’s no UK date as of yet.
