The trailer starts out with a young man attending his grandmother’s funeral. We come to find out that she survived the Holocaust, only to be murdered years later. Then, Al Pacino’s character offers him a chance at revenge. We then get to the heart of the matter, which sees Pacino recruiting this man for his team of Nazi hunters, who operate in the shadows taking out, well, Nazis. The whole thing is violent, heavy and surprisingly amusing, despite its grizzly nature. Being set to the tune of Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads certainly doesn’t hurt matters any.
MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
Hunters is inspired by true events centers on a diverse group of Nazi Hunters. The series takes place in 1977 New York when this group discovers that hundreds of escaped Nazis are living in America. They then set out on a bloody quest for revenge and justice, aiming to take down these Nazis who have made a new home in the U.S. However, they quickly discover a far-reaching conspiracy and must race the clock to stop the Nazis’ new genocidal plans.
“The comedy is so prevalent, and you can really push the envelope with a lot of these characters because all of these Hunters come from different backgrounds. All of them have been discriminated against in some way, and I loved this idea of them collectively trying to take the power back.”
