You might think you're watching First
Blood tracking down Rambo or The Fugitive 3.
Tommy Lee Jones again plays a driven man
tracking down a killer he trained.
The biggest problem with The Hunted
is it just doesn't make a lot of sense. You never get a clear
picture of why the killer did what he did. Should we like him
or hate him and hope he gets killed?
This just might make a great video game,
there's plenty of blood and guts and hand-to-hand combat throughout.
The picture's plotholes and lapses in logic
fell way short of my expectations. |
It's Rambo meets The Fugitive
as Tommy Lee Jones hunts for Benicio Del Toro in one very long
chase scene. And to make matters worse, great action scenes are
lost in a muddled story made laughable by a lack of both character
development and a believable plot.
Nice action, but same old story with no
payoff. |
The Hunted
is a story of a retired special operations killing instructor
who is brought in to track down an AWOL soldier gone psycho,
who he has trained.
I think the problem with this movie is
that it was put together too fast in the face of a potential
actors strike two years ago.
Hunted
goes way off track and isn't worth the chase. It's not believable
and becomes a bloody mess. |
