The Hunting Party

Last week I saw a movie named "The Hunting Party". It's a movie with Richard Gere, Terrence Howard and also during ten minutes, Diane Kruger. It's a movie directed by Richard Shepard.

The movie take place in Serbia, during the Bosnian war. The most famous actor is Slobodan Milošević former president of Serbia. There is also Radovan Karadžić who was the former president of the Republika Srpska which is a political entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are both criminal and even if Slobodan Milošević was arrested and judged, and dead now, Radovan Karadžić is hidden and still free. The movie talk about him.

So at the beginning, we have two journalists, war journalists, one speak it's Simon played by Richard Gere. The other is a cameraman, Duck played by Terrence Howard. But Simon do some critics about NATO, ONU, etc... who do nothing to protect citizens. He's sick about war because he see a lot of horrible things. So he's fired and he work for Jamaican TV to earn some money.

Few years later, after the war, Simon and Duck meet again in Serbska and Simon say to Duck that he know where is "The Fox" which is the nickname of Radovan Karadžić. In the movie they take another name for him. They give him this nickname because he like to kill foxes during hunting.

So Duck who is with a student who is the son of Duck's boss, accept to interview him. The student is Benjamin who is also agree to accompagn them. Simon reveal his true idea later, he want to capture "The Fox", not for the money, but during the war, Simon was in love with a girl, and that girl died because of Radovan Karadžić.

"The Fox" is research by ONU, NATO, CIA, INTERPOL, etc... and there are inhabitants who protect him because there admired him, even if there is five million on his head.

With the help of a local policeman, they find him, but the CIA come and they can't catch him. They understand that nobody want to arrest him. The CIA want to sent them in USA, the policeman who help them is transfer in Africa, the local police doesn't have the list of wanted men, etc... All this element are true according to the director film.

It's an american movie, so there is an happy end. Simon, Duck and Benjamin arrested him, but it's just fiction at this part.

I liked this movie, because I discover this story and it was interesting. It's a good movie.
