Be careful because it seems that Amazon Prime Video have decided to get their act together. Service streaming of movies and series by Jeff Bezos premieres this 2020 a promising series with a very Tarantinian: kill Nazis at close range. Headed by Al Pacino and with an aesthetic that clearly drinks from Inglourious Basterds, Hunters will premiere the first of its ten chapters on February 21 on Prime Video.
Already the very poster of Hunters evidence: with Damn bastards, Quentin Tarantino not only signed one of his best works; he also created a new genre: that of Nazi killer movies.
And if the poster evidences it, the psycho killer of the Talking Heads (as well as the light and humorous treatment of wild shots) confirm it: Hunters he could almost have Tarantino's master hand behind him. And if not, he watches the trailer and prove us he's not:
Hunters, the best Amazon Prime Video series in 2020?
Amazon Prime Video, available worldwide for four years, has been characterized by having a catalog unable to compete with the majestic HBO and Netflix. And not precisely because of the number of movies and series. Prime Video has so many titles that the act of diving into its catalog without a compass can have fatal consequences for our thumbs. Although there are tapes of enormous quality in Prime Video, it is in the section of own productions where Amazon still has a lot to do. In this way, Hunters could be a whole new starting point for the company. So far we have not seen anything like it.
In addition to having the guarantee of the support of Al Pacino (who we have been able to enjoy in 2019 in The Irish y Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) Hunters It is produced by one of the newest magicians in Hollywood: Jordan Peele. This 40-year-old New Yorker was responsible for the surprising Get out (2018), a tape of race terror which cost 5 million and grossed 252. Released in Spain with the title Let me out, this movie shocked us with its unusual treatment of the racist dread of a wealthy white family that under no circumstances was she willing to accept that the youngest of the clan had a black man as a partner.
The cast of Hunter, created and directed by David Weil, is completed with kate mulvany, tiffany boone, Carol Kane, Saul rubinek, Louis Ozawa Changchien, and Josh Radnor. The plot could not be simpler and, at the same time, more promising. A boy whose grandmother has just been murdered turns to a squad specializing in killing Nazis for revenge in order to prevent the rise of the Fourth Reich in the United States in the late XNUMXs. As we can see in the trailer, it is very confirmed that we will have the occasional scene in which Al Pacino will lose his temper and shout,
We are inside.
The release date of Hunters on Amazon Prime Video is next February 21, 2020.
