This movie is a horrible melodrama about a bunch of country-fellows who performs illegal hunting. The movie, which is stuffed with silly clichés, accellerates into a more and more twisted story including a totally unneccessary rape-scene. I felt really annoyed with "Jägarna" and the most striking thing is that there is absolutely no distance to the characters, story or environements - no sense of humor. The first 30 minutes I was a bit amused because I was certain that the portraits of the rural population was humorous and (maybe) satirical, but I was wrong - totally wrong. There is no tongue-in-cheek whatsoever and it makes me mad because it makes the movie somewhat elitistic: rural people are stupid and drinks nothing but moonshine.
