An all too familiar chase movie that's not worth the talents involved.

The Spool

Friedkin deftly balances Bonham and Hallam’s screentime.

Benicio Del Toro goes Rambo in the Oregon wilderness and tracker/father figure Tommy Lee Jones is drafted to hunt him down in William Friedkin’s lean, mean manhunt thriller.

Gone With The Twins

Jones and Del Toro are both convincing, taking their parts seriously; there's no comic relief, and the countless cuts and stabs are quite brutal.

Rated: 5/10

Alec B It's a solid, lean thriller. The script isn't anything special, but it works as an vehicle for Friedkin to stage exceptional chase sequences. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Mr L What few, if any, imperfections are forgettable. This is a Great movie. The cinematography, writing, directing, and acting are top tier. Severely underrated. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Natty N This is one that gets better as it ages. Sure, the story contains no profound plot twists. But the action is top notch and that is what one seeks in this kind of movie. It's arguable no Hollywood action movie has ever had better knife fight choreography than The Hunted. The effective use of location shooting in and around Portland Oregon just adds to the sense of weight to the proceedings: real people in real places doing real things. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Steve D Passable but not good enough for this cast. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Armando B It's good... Some of the characters serve 0 purpose and really don't do much the entire movie until they use the main stars of the film. The movie has lots going on for it but then it becomes boring. the movie itself kept me entertained tho and I like the setting of the film. its kind of a mix of First Blood and The Fugitive which is funny cus Tommy lee Jones is in this one too. Wud recommend tho Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review Jelisije J A movie with no twists or turns, what was advertised is what you got. Some good action scenes, but not a film that I would go back to. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
