Richard Gere and Terrence Howard make for an unlikely, but excellent, double act. Gere gives one the most genuine performances of his career as war correspondant Simon Hunt; who teams up with his former cameraman (Howard) to capture a Serbian war criminal five years after the civil war. 'The Hunting Party' is in a similar vein to 'Lord Of War' with the witty banter of director Richard Shepard's 2005 sleeper 'The Matador'. Fast paced poltical satire: A hidden gem.

Looks good. I liked Lord of War. I think my husband and I are the only people who actually saw it. I'll have to put this one on my Netflix queue.

This was even better than Lord Of War IMO, probably because I remember watching the Bosnian war on TV growing up. And it was strange revisiting that era on screen, especially from the perspective of journalists.
