Additional InformationWhen the body count begins to rise in the woods, it's not the wildlife that needs to be afraid. An expert assassin is on the loose taking out the hunters. Now the man who trained the killer must take up the final challenge and face the demons in his own past. Echoing Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW, William Friedkin's THE HUNTED opens with a close-up of the protagonist, Aaron Hallam (Benicio Del Toro)--a Special Ops soldier who is witnessing atrocities in Kosovo. His battle stress soon turns him into a killing machine, as he murders hunters in the Oregon woods. Meanwhile, L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones) is living a solitary existence in the Pacific Northwest, rescuing wolves and living off the land. The Feds lure Bonham out of retirement, since he was responsible for training Hallam--and might be the only person alive who can stop him. Combining elements of RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD--in which Richard Crenna played the only man who could stop the battle-fatigued Sylvester Stallone--with THE PARK IS MINE--in which Jones played a Vietnam veteran who took over Central Park and booby-trapped it--THE HUNTED is an exciting chase film that is infused with a compelling streak of humanity amid all the blood and gore. Del Toro and Jones are both excellent, conveying a father-and-son-like relationship that is filled with intrigue. Johnny Cash's talk-rendition of Bob Dylan's 'Highway 61' opens and closes the film with gusto.
ReviewsAin't It Cool News - One hell of a film...a non-stop relentless assault of action...one of those films that truly pays off, Sight and Sound - ...An efficient nuts-and-bolts thriller....Shot with striking thematic continuity....This is muscular film-making at its most instinctive..., Hot Ticket - An action thriller that pulls you in and won't let you go, Entertainment Weekly - ...The landscapes of wilderness, city, and movie-set Kosovo are finely delineated by cinematographer Caleb Deschanel..., Chicago Sun-Times - ...As Jones tracks Del Toro, the movie stays close to their immediate physical experience....Surprisingly effective..., Total Film - ...The visceral violence is razor sharp...
