The Black Room
The Black Room
In a 16th-century European town, the ruling family has been given a prophecy that, should there ever be twin boys born, the younger will murder the older; so is dismayed when twins are born to the popular baron. The older grows to be a selfish, slovenly man, who inherits the castle at his father's death and becomes ruler over the formerly happy villagers. He enjoys his power until he learns his younger brother is returning from abroad and, afraid of the prophecy, he determines to murder his sibling, hide his body in the "black room" - an old torture chamber sealed away behind the fireplace - and then impersonate him, right down to his withered arm. In this way he hopes to not only avoid the prophecy, but also escape consequences of his other criminal deeds and obtain marriage to a local girl of the nobility...

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The Hunter's Prayer had me interested when I looked at the cast listing, mainly because Sam Worthington I only a few days before watched in "Shack" and I was keen to see how Odeya Rush was developing as a actor.Though the story threw up very little in the way of surprises. It was good to see a solid script, generally good acting and the fight scenes weren't drawn out to pad out the time.Surprisingly little bad language, but slightly marred by graphic drug taking scenes.

This film tells the story of an assassin who is hired by a rich tycoon to kill a teenage girl studying in the Switzerland. He finds himself unable to kill the girl, and they both become targets for assassination. They have to do everything in order to survive."The Hunter's Prayer" has a thrilling story, and more importantly a story that makes you care about what happens to the characters. The teenage girl gets into a perilous situation, and I really feel for her for not knowing who to trust. The assassin, on the other hand, is also sympathetic. He is a hybrid of a villain and a hero, making him likable. I find this film enjoyable.

Lucas (Sam Worthington) is an Assassin hired to kill Ella (Odeya Rush) whose father stole money from employer Richard Addison (Allen Leech). Problem is Lucas cannot do it. Now he and Ella are on the run from other Assassins trying to get the job done, which now also includes Lucas. This can't be good.This is a surprisingly good thriller. We see that Addison has Lucas' family in his gun sights to insure Lucas does the job. Lucas knows this but still cannot kill Ella. Ella learns to trust Lucas until she learns that Lucas's job is to kill her. Lucas forces Ella to keep running from those out to kill them both. There is a good car chase and shootouts all over the place. Added to all this we discover that Lucas is a Junkie and begins to reflect on his life when Ella asks him his name and, "are you a diabetic?"Since the money Ella's father stole went into Ella's slush fund at school we see that Ella needs to be kept alive as only she knows the password to get into that account, but apparently the other Assassins weren't given that word yet. We like the bonding between Lucas and Ella and wish there were more dialogues between them.Notable: Amy Landecker as Banks, an FBI agent on Richard Addison's payroll. All in all a good thriller, predictable yes, but we knew this going in, right? It's the telling of the story that holds us. See? (7/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: Not really when Lucas has his pants down to give himself a shot. Language: Yes, mostly in the beginning then it falls off.

The Hunter's Prayer is just a 90min average action thriller flick that you probably didn't know being played at theater then in a cold boring day you decide to check it out on Netflix and not remember a damn thing the next day.It nice to look at and it not taken itself too seriously(Thank god for that)other than that the plot is genetic,the characters is boring with no redemption quality due to the lead female actor Odeya Rush with her wooden acting that so painful to watch but at least Sam Worthington is very convincing with the junkie hit man role and deliver some good action scene but despite being a R rated movie most of the action scene is very PG-13ish.
