(9-7-08) A highly trained assassin in the army has seen too much blood and it starts to get in his head. He starts killing innocent people, Tommy Lee jones plays a veteran tracker who is sent after the murderer. The plot here has been done many times, and is similar to other Tommy lee jones cop movies. One thing that makes this movie unique is the great knife fights, they very fast and a little more realistic than some movies. Overall this is a good action movie and definitely worth the watch.
Tries too hard to be a remake of First Blood, and it fails with a vengeance. I just couldn't care about any of the charaters in this because they we all so under developed. Quite a shame really.
If you take the poor man's First Blood and the poor man's The Fugitive and combined them you would get this movie. It's alright but gradually becomes more and more ridiculous until the final knife battle where the two battle with knives they made out of stone and metal.
Man,what a movie.I absolutely enjoyed it every second of it.The Hunted is a great film with a intense action,a brilliant story and specially the confrontation between two generations of great actors:Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro.Tommy Lee was amazing and he is in best since the Fugitive and Del Toro was brilliant and a great badass.This is a an outstanding thriller that grabs you from the beggining to the end.
Ridiculous. Had some cool moments in there, but was overall just unrealistic. I love when Tommy Lee Jones is able to use his master tracking skills to follow a set of human footprints through a city park filled with people and kids - come on! Or how about when he helps a wounded wolf remove a snare from its leg. I'm sure the wolf was really thinking "hey maybe this bearded human will help my predicament, I think I'll just let him grab and twist my injured leg out of this trap."
This movie is the primary reason I'm a fan of Tommy Lee Jones. Out of all the movies I like, this is my #1 favorite. And for a movie buff like me... that says a lot!
Tommy Lee Jones is a tracker who is summoned by the FBI to catch a killer who he trained in the past. That's pretty much the plot, the characters don't really develop esp the FBI agent helping Jones' character who seems to be there just for the sake of an extra character as she never gets in on the action. She might as well have been one of the many police running about. I was expecting more out of this movie but it just didn't develop on the potential it had.
I really liked this movie it had alot of great chase scenes and unique fight scenes between the two.Jones is great and i definetely recommend it if u like alot of action!
I was surprised. This was actually a pretty cool movie! Sure like to know why Tommy Lee Jones is billed last on here...look at the picture and watch the film Flixter!!!!!!
The 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.
nothing much in this movie really but the start is quite good and u just want to see the end of the chase. Tommy Lee isn't bad in it...as usual. Eddie velez is everly a cop in the movies, why?
Aaron Hallam: If you cross this line, you better be ready to kill me.
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.

Not a bad movie actually. I injoyed the fight scenes and loved the plot of the story. It punches a face in the US military and politics. Who better to play in it either then Del Toro and Tommy Jones great movie highly recommended.
This movie was a 'to the point' action flick, no twists, no comic relief, no romance just good guy and bad guy, cat and mouse.
Now some of the king fu scenes look a little bit practiced the moves and agility was quite spectacular to watch. It actually scares me a bit to think some people on this planet actually know this stuff, and you'd be dead before you even knew he moved his hand.
Blood-thirsty, thrilling and exhilerating movie. Very impressed knife fights between two winners of Oscar for Supporting Actor, Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro.
Tommy Lee Jones just has this certain, auora that he brings to all his characters, he's serious but it always comes off as funny, which is why he's always great to watch.

while this movie does seem tirelessly plotless i believe without the actors this would have flopped badly
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.
