When down and desperate, any plan sounds like a good plan, right until it isnt.
Thats the premise the 2020 filmTime to Huntis built on.
The film itself throws a group of down-on-their-luck friends into aheist of epic proportions.

The moment they pull off the robbery, the tone of the film sort of shifts gears.
Theres usuallya mastermind, a foolproof plan, anda clean getaway.
To be a bit playful, theres usually a car chase thrown in the mix.

Its safe to say thatTime to Huntdoes the opposite.
From the get-go,the film makes it clear that this team of criminals is in over their heads.
Their world is crumbling, and robbing a successful gambling den is their only way out.
One of the most brutal aspects ofTime to Huntis how quickly everything crumbles in an already decrepit world.
This time around, theres no time to break out the champagne or start counting the money.
The moment they think theyre home free, Han is already on their trail.
So, make no mistake, there are noslick action sceneswith people walking away from explosions in slow motion.
But when the action does rear its head, its fast, messy, and terrifying.
Once he steps out of the shadows, it is clear that Han isnt yourrun-of-the-mill action-movie assassin.
In a nutshell,hes an emotionless predator who will stop at nothing to get the job done.
Even the way hes portrayed in the film backs this notion up.
Theres no big monologue explaining his motivations or a dramatic backstory to make audiences empathize with him.
Instead, we get chilling scenes where he quietly observes his prey, methodically tracking them like a hunter.
When action meets brains, it’s a battle of wits and power.
Then, like some lingering specter in a recurring nightmare, Han emerges from the shadows, completely unfazed.
For Han, theres no bargaining, no reasoning, and certainly no escape.
In a way,hes no mere mortal chasing them hes death itself creeping closer with every step.
If the film’s title suggests a hunt, then Han is the hunter who never misses.
