So elephant in the room: this film seemingly has a lot to say about US politics. All the characters are caricatures of one extreme or the other. It’s all about as subtle as a grenade exploding in your trousers.

But ignoring that, I actually enjoyed it. The fights/deaths were fun, it got a couple of laughs from me, and the initial sequence when the hunt starts is brilliant.

The advertising campaign for this mostly seemed to revolve around showing Emma Roberts in a bit gag which is, frankly, genius.
