MOVIE - THE HUNTED - Review Rating $$ (OUT OF 10)
STARRING - Tommy Lee Jones (L.T.), Benicio Del Toro (Aaron Hallam), Connie Nielsen, Jenna Boyd, Leslie Stefanson & Robert Blanche.
DIRECTOR - William Friedkin (Rules of Engagement, The Exorcist, The French Connection).
A battle stressed Special Forces veteran loses his grasp on reality and the only guy capable of bringing him in is the man who trained him to be a killing machine.
If you remember the "Rambo" movies (Sylvester Stallone) and "The Fugitive" then you've already seen the much better movies that The Hunted borrows heavily from and poorly mimics.
I'm not sure its possible to have more clichés in the first 10 minutes of a movie. Apparently, the screenwriters thought it was enough because without further ado, or explanation, the killing begins. What little credibility The Hunted has left goes out the window at this point.
The rest of the movie resembles the instructions on your bottle of shampoo (Wet hair, lather, rinse, repeat). We are treated to increasingly incredible chase, capture, escape, sequences.
The Hunted is just plain bad.
Running time: 96 minutes
