Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
djohn-96217 Just under the title there is one sentence describing the whole movie "... a man turning hunting of humans ... a sport...?!" Really?! There are certain places in the movie underlining that instead he is hunted (see movie title :). He just trying to avoid to be cought and killed, not sentenced ... But not running... He just was used, honored with medal and prepared for disposal. In fact the men in grey used police to do there dirt work. So, really he is one of them?! Abraham is not bother with killing his son, isn't he?! The man who protect the wild life make his first kill being of his former student who embrace respect of living creatures as he do. There are deep connections beside amusing of watchers in this movie!
Michael Ledo Jake (Josh Stewart) is a great hunter from "By God" West Virginia... or was it West "By God" Virginia. He wants to start his own hunting TV series called "The Tree Hugger" as he spends most of his time in a deer stand. He has a professional camera man friend as they head out to deer camp. They are hunting a newly opened area, one that has a huge buck nicknamed, "Movie Star."There is an early clue as to what is about to happen, although the title isn't clear until later. Kudos to DVD cover guys for not revealing any plot spoilers.Some of the film was fine, but other footage, such as watching the trailer hitch, left something to be desired. Much of the film is found footage, while some is not, and I wish they did the herky-jerky ending in the "not" group. What it really looks like is that Josh works at Cabela's and got a bunch of hunting gear sponsors to make them an 87 minute commercial we would pay to watch.Guide: 1 F-bomb. No sex or nudity
gavin6942 An FBI deep-woods tracker captures a trained assassin who has made a sport of hunting humans.With all due respect to director William Friedkin, he has a record that is less than consistent. Back in the 1970s, he blew everyone away with "The Exorcist" and "The French Connection". After that, it has been up and down. I really liked "Bug", but it seemed to go largely under the radar.This one is less than perfect. It starts off okay, and the concept is good, but as it goes on, the acting seems to get worse and worse. How does that happen? Even Benicio del Toro, who is a pretty decent actor, just sort of falls apart. That makes me a sad panda.
g-bodyl What happens when you combine these films: Predator, First Blood, and the Fugitive? Well, you get this thriller: The Hunted. Now while the Hunted may seem derivative (it pretty much is), it still is a good time and it's a reasonably entertaining, straightforward thriller which is like a cat and mouse game. This film is not short on the action as we witness some great knife battles, a climatic ending, and lots of graphic violence.William Friedkin's film is about a former ops named Aaron Hallam who has gone rogue after witnessing events in Kosovo. Hallam is wanted for the vicious murders of two businessmen as he tries to avoid being captured. But the FBI calls in his former assassins trainer, L.T Bonham to help them track Hallam down.Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor, but he wasn't convincing here as he should have been. This was just a ripoff of his Fugitive performance, and I'm still deciding whether that is good or not. He still has his charisma and grace though. Benicio Del Toro did do a great job as the vicious Hallam whose best friend is his stealth. Finally, Connie Nielsen was okay as the FBI agent, but I'm not sure if I could buy her performance.Overall, The Hunted is an entertaining, "cat and mouse" thriller that is highlighted by some excellent knife scenes. While the film is not short on action or gore, it does lack an excellent screenplay, which perhaps hindered the acting. But this film does have a good technical side as it has great editing and great cinematography. In other words, this film made it feel I was in the Pacific Northwest as well. I rate this film 8/10.
