Product Description:
Story of a retired instructor of warfare who must battle his former top student, a top special forces assassin gone renegade.
Amazon.com:
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 rugged screen personas are perfectly matched in a manhunt between a military assassin and the man who trained him to kill. Traumatized by atrocities in Kosovo four years earlier (the site of an action-packed prologue), Hallam (Del Toro) is seemingly psychotic and now killing in the forests of Oregon; Bonham (Jones) is lured out of retirement by a tenacious FBI agent (Connie Nielsen) to end Hallam's murder spree. The hackneyed plot is derivative to a fault (no surprise from the screenwriters of Collateral Damage), and the whole movie's a foregone conclusion, but Friedkin inspires fine work from his well-trained stars while exploring the ambiguity of Hallam's character. Lushly photographed by Caleb Deschanel, The Hunted is a survivalist's dream, militarily authentic and most effective when its primal instincts are cinematically expressed. --Jeff Shannon

I like Tommy Lee Jones. Benicio Del Toro's not bad. Connie Nielsen looks great. William Friedkin is a good director. So what happened? A more developed script would've helped. The Hunted boasts impressive knife fighting sequences - albeit mainly of Tommy vs. Benicio. Throughout the film, Tommy Lee looks wracked with guilt because of his past but doesn't do much about it. Meanwhile, Benicio plays the war scarred assassin with no way out. That's pretty much the storyline as The Hunted combines ... Read More

Friedkin and Jones have done notable work multiple times. One assumes this was made for the money to be made although it would appear that it failed at the box office. Nevertheless, for those who know that the logic for the action may be quite flawed but like to see chases and hand-to-hand combat, this should be a satisfying film. Obviously, those with no such taste will miss nothing by giving this a pass. Jones has nothing much to do beyond the action but looks good doing it; the actor playing the ... Read More

Growing up in the 80s as a geeky kid with Cerebal Palsy, I grew to hate action films. Arnold Shwartznager and Chuck Norris seemed like idiots, and represented the right wing reactionary politics I despise. But seeing The Hunted made me realize I don't dislike action films at all, just bad actors and comic book direction.
The Hunted stars Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro. Jones trains Del Toro how to kill with knives in the army, and the student sees the horrors of war in 1999 Kosovo. ... Read More

Good movie. Not a great movie. Tommy Lee Jones plays a good mentor/teacher. Beautiful scenery and location. Fights scenes are graphic, definitly not a movie for children. Jones and Benico do alot of their own stunts.

At least Rambo had a reason he was causing so much ruckus. This guy is just, well pointless. Supposedly all he sees people as is targets, except for a little girl and her mom, and just about everyone else he meets.
Buy Rambo instead, you'll be glad you did. This movie is not worth a rental fee, let alone a purchase. I'm glad I got it from the library for free, that way I'm only out the time I wasted watching it.
