Mumbai, May 22 (IANS): Sam Worthington starrer "Hunter's Prayer", based on a novel by Kevin Wignall, will hit the Indian theatres on June 16.

Worthington, who is also producing the modern action thriller, will be seen as an assassin in "Hunter's Prayer".

"In my opinion the best thrillers are the ones where the audience is thinking, no matter what the character does,'Yeah I could do that, in that situation, I'd do that'. They seem to be doing the smartest thing every step of the way," director Jonathan Mostow said in a statement.

Talking about the film, Worthington said: "Action movies are normally stand there, blow shit up, shoot the gun, run. It's never about would you really want to pull your gun out at this point? What's the emotional state you're in? I've never experienced that in any action movie I've done.

"When all the bombs and the bells and whistles are going off, what's going on in these two people's hearts?"

The film also features Allen Leech, Amy Landecker, Martin Compston and Verónica Echegui as part of the cast. It is written by John Brancato, Michael Ferris, Paul Leyden and Oren Moverman.
