New York PostLou Lumenick
Shepard, who directed "The Matador" and the pilot for "Ugly Betty," can't quite get the disparate elements of The Hunting Party to mesh into a satisfying whole. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
A dismal misfire that attempts to make black comedy out of the adventures of war correspondents and the dirty business of international politics. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
Truth be told, none of it is actual living, and all of it is secondhand re-spinning of such better movies as "The Year of Living Dangerously" and "Welcome to Sarajevo." To use an antiquated newsman's cliche: Get me rewrite. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
Genocide is hard to decorate with the trimmings of dark farce. The Hunting Party wants to get at political truths through audaciousness, but it keeps bumping into that problem of taste, only to back down. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesCarina Chocano
Black comedy becomes funnier as the action becomes darker and more perilous, but The Hunting Party fails to locate the absurdity in the central situations and goes for midget jokes instead. In the end, you're not sure if you're supposed to be watching "The Three Amigos" or "Hotel Rwanda." Read full review
