Hunter Killer is a 2018 American action thriller film directed by Donovan Marsh, written by Arne Schmidt and Jamie Moss, and based on the 2012 novel Firing Point by Don Keith and George Wallace. The film stars Gerard Butler and Gary Oldman with Michael Nyqvist (in one of his final film roles), Common, Linda Cardellini and Toby Stephens in supporting roles, and follows a submarine crew and a group of United States Navy SEALs who rescue the captured Russian President from a coup.
Hunter Killer was released in the United States on October 26, 2018, by Summit Premiere. The film bombed at the box-office and received mixed reviews from critics, who saw it as "an undemanding, by-the-numbers actioner".[4]
