When I stumbled upon the 2024 movie titled "Huntress", I have to say that the movie's cover made me stop and take notice of the movie. It was a movie that I had never heard about, and thus, I opted to give the movie a fair chance.
Let me just say that the movie's cover is the best part about the ordeal. And the movie's cover over-sells the movie by a landslide, especially since it has nothing to do with the contents of the storyline. So yeah, I was suckered in on false premises. Take heed, and don't get sucked in by the movie's cover, as the contents of the storyline is quite different; you'll be sorely disappointed.
The storyline in the movie, which I am surprised to see that a total of three writers collectively worked to conjure up, was rather bland and wasn't particularly entertaining. So it was impressive that writers Iris Blake, J. Christian Ingvordsen and James Felix McKenney could muster so little between them.
I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, which is something I actually do enjoy when I watch a movie. Despite having very little to work with, I will say that the acting performances were fair enough.
If you enjoy World War II movies, do yourself a favor and give "Huntress" a very wide berth. It just simply wasn't worth the 77 minutes that the movie ran for.
The movie scores a much needed point on its presentation, as it looked fair enough and passable as a World War II movie.
My rating of directors Matthew M. Howe and J. Christian Ingvordsen's 2024 movie lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
