"Some shocking twists go off like well-timed bombs in the back half of the film, somewhat compensating for what is, in all honesty, a bit of a slog."

—

The Guardian

"(A) knotty, at times labyrinthine spy thriller that might just have the most compellingly convoluted plot since The Big Sleep."

—

The Times

"(An) action-packed tale that is so filled with twists and turns, it would be laughable if it was not so bombastic and exciting."

—

The Straits Times

"Lee Jung-jae, throws everything at this story, but it comes across as confused and messy."

—

South China Morning Post

"A kinetic, truly thrilling and delightfully operatic espionage tale."

—

Little White Lies

"An intense and unpredictably twist-filled Korean spy thriller."

—

Slash Film

"Hunt is a finely accomplished beginning to Lee Jung-jae's directorial career."

—

IGN

"A propulsively enthralling espionage thriller that’s only wanting a more coherent narrative."

—

Total Film

"An energetic yet hopelessly convoluted espionage thriller that doesn’t tell a story so much as it chronically bumps into one."

—

IndieWire

"The last few scenes are so ludicrous as to be laughable, but that doesn’t sabotage the fun..."

—

Variety

"An increasingly frustrating movie that loses its way amid a dense thicket of plot complications, double-dealings, counterplans and surprise revelations..."
