	Author	Review
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A routine but reasonably diverting B-movie (...) It’s unfortunate that the co-stars generate zero chemistry together"	NEU
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"What should be a reliably entertaining, if not especially original, replication of well-worn crime-thriller conventions instead turns into an enervating slog."	NEG
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"An impressive array of car chases, gun fights, hand-to-hand combat, and foot pursuits, all cut with a precision and an economy that heightens the impact of every hit (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"[A] dumb actioner (...) Action movies don’t necessarily need logic, but in the absence of entertainment value, tracking what doesn’t make sense is often the only fun."	NEG
United States	Craig D. Lindsey LA Weekly	"Unfortunately, once the action is over we get to the story (...) It's insipid and uninspired (...) The biggest sin 'The Hunter's Prayer' makes is being too dumb to enjoy."	NEG
United States	Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"'The Hunter’s Prayer' is like a Luc Besson film put through a deflavorizing machine to remove any element that could be distinctive, energetic, or fun (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
