Plot:
William Friedkin's taut direction highlights The Hunted, a bloodsport thriller that works best without dialogue. It's a prime vehicle for costars Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro, whose rug...( read more

Tense. Good.

MCT:May 3, 2008The Hunted was to me an unimpressive film that I feel like I almost wasted my time seeing. Even with one of my fave actors, Belicio Del Toro, that doesn't change the fact that the overall movie was extremely disappointing.
The plot was dull and completely explained, probably the thing I hated the most about this flick was the way that it almost felt like it skipped a few minutes going from each scene. One minute one of the characters is in a certain place and the next they suddenly appear somewhere completely different. Another thing is that this film is in no way realistic with some of the events that occur. I found my self constantly thinking 'How did that happen?', 'How did he get there?', 'Why didn't this happen?' etc. I wasn't expecting complete realism but I think they could have at least considered the obvious ones.
Benicio Del Toro gave a truly electrifying and brilliant performance though, he saved this film from a much lower rating. Tommy Lee Jones looked extremely awkward for his role, for me it just didn't work. Connie Nielsen was worse than average, another role I wouldn't have expected.
Please try and avoid this if you can, I have warned you. But if you're looking for an action flick with absolutely no real plot and some pretty shameful moments for some otherwise great actors.. go for this. -

A chase movie with lots of bloody action.
In way of plot, the movie doesn't get to detailed. Benicio Del Toro is a special forces soldier running amok in the woods and Tommy Lee Jones, his former trainer, is brought in to bring him down. Easy enough, but it is made better by up close and personal knife fights.
Director William Friedkin brings a visceral quality to the very tense one on one scenes involving the fight scenes.
It also helps that the scenery looks terrific, taking place mainly in a forest setting. Then there's Connie Nielson in a supporting role and enough rugged looks from both Jones and Del Toro.
L.T.: He's unusual. He can kill anybody without regret. Most of the people he killed never knew he was in the same room as them. -

An explosive thriller. Blood-thirsty, thrilling and exhilerating. Delivers well-crafted action sequences. The chase scenes are awsome. Thet keep your pulse pounding and your heart racing. Fast, furious and ferousish with intensity that wont quit. Full-throttle excitment. Incomplete in many ways but is still exceptional. Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro are well matched and outstanding. Del Toro gives a fearless and chilling portrayel. Jones is subtle and strong.

MCT:November 6, 2008The Fake looks fake in this movie. This guys seem to be super humans. How did Benicio do all his traps in just minutes. If you want to laugh a lot, see it.
