War is not an entertaining subject yet I was able to sit through a 140 minutes of a drama about it, a real achievement. Three, daring journalists on a dangerousquest. But do not focus on that thread only because there is more to this movie, a lot more. It is sharp, sometimes mocking and the cast-Brilliant!. The choice of medium was excellent. Should the film show the story in a sober, critical way I wouldn't finish watching it probably. I know enough on the war-subject and it makes me mad not being able to do anything to prevent populations from engagin in tis type of'problem-solving'. What seeing 'The Hunting Party' gave me, was an assurance that there are people that understand what is going on. That in these crazy times we manage to save ourselves from insanity also by laughing our helplessness off. The movie to me is, among other things, about that. I'm familiar with the issues of war criminals not getting what they deserve, enslaving bureaucracy in UN and USA, UK, EU's involvement in deeds they wouldn't want us-people to know about. I realise that having power and being fair is difficult, therefore I'm not judging. I'm only saying that I 'see' what is going on. The knowledge is power in a good way. If each one of us takes responsibility, the world will be a better place.
