The Hunting (2024)

A typical crime drama with predictable ending, and good acting from Zhang Song Wen

The Hunter is a crime drama about a police department working to chase and arrest a drug lord, played by Zhang Song Wen.

Synopsis: In the calm coastal town of Sanping City, the narcotics squad accidentally seizes a batch of new methamphetamine that has a rare purity in action, so Sanping Public Security immediately launches an investigation. The transferred police officer Zhao You Nan, with a keen sense of smell and insight, makes a target of Huang Zong Wei, who did the chemical business from scratch.

The cunning Huang Zong Wei ignites Zhao Younan’s fighting spirit. She keeps an eye on Huang Zong Wei. No matter where Huang Zong Wei hides or how false her appearance is, she can dig up clues and find the truth without hesitation to arrest. The Public Security team led by Zhao You Nan versus the drug dealers led by Huang Zong Wei. Zhao You Nan goes after Huang Zong Wei, and Huang Zong Wei is good at hiding, which stages a “game of cat and mouse”…

My Reviews:
- It is a typical crime drama about drug dealers. Zhang Song Wen is the only person who acted and did a good job in this drama.
- He played a likable bad guy, just like the one in Knockout, which has a better storyline than this one.
- It is a predictable ending, so nothing special but the cat-mouse chasing between policemen and drug dealers.

I give it a 5.5 because the script is not original, but the acting is good by Zhang Song Wen
