This is one of the best action movies I have ever seen. It's good within only a few minutes and just gets better. I love the entire cast and the story is original and unique. The Johnny Cash music is perfect. I highly recommend this movie. Read more

Great movie!! Had never heard of it till a friend invited me over to see it. My only regret is that it should've had a more in-depth plot and a longer runtime. Benicio del Toro is a chameleon in his movie roles!! Amazing how he can take on any role and make it so believable!! Definitely put this movie in your collection. Read more

The Hunted is the story of a loyal U.S. Military Special Forces team member sent on a mission to assassinate one of the Serbian rebels. The action is great and the story is great, but the message is that our own Government betrays it's own military and really does leave them behind. I know cause I come form a Military Family and I know others in special forces and U.S. Navy SEALS that were highly decorated Silver star recipients and Purple Heart winners. We need to support our men and women and give them special assignments after being exposed to the truths about "War". The female FBI agent was a total "fiction" and nothing like real agents. I know quite a few.Procedures and other techniques were way off the scale and not done(It's only a movie right) The character "LT" played by Tommy :Lee Jones was not as developed as is really used in training combat soldiers. The Character trained soldiers for CQC type drills with a knife. The training is good, but without actual "experience", it is useless for the field, unless you have a martial arts background. The knife used or made was interesting, but many experts have debunked it as a throwing knife and just a partially well made survival knife. All in all, it was a fun ride, but not very accurate but that is because the message was in another direction. I also worked for the U.S. Secret Service, so I had to be a "counter-sniper" and "Counter-Terrorism Expert." I also recommend a movie with Peter Coyote called "Le Grande Arte"(1991) which has some really cool knife fights and real fighting techniques. Enjoy !! Read more

This is my favorite movie with Tommy Lee Jones as the protagonist. Benicio del Toro did a really super job portraying the soldier that could not "turn it off". The training that soldiers get are ingrained into their very being; to kill without hesitation. To put emotions into a box inside their head and lock it down tight -not to be opened again until their tour of duty is at an end. But, sadly, some can never learn to let their training...their war face...the cold killer that the military has ingrained so deeply, just simply 'go away'. To just turn it off and forget it. del Torro's character is one of these. Tommy Lee Jones (or LT) has been raised by his father, a fighter, and his father's father, all trained in stalking, tracking, surviving. Blending in and becoming a ghost. LT does not like guns. He specializes in stabbing weapons. How to make them (even out of flint if necessary) how to fight with them, and del Toro's character was his most skilled and astute student. The war is over. But the soldier that could not "turn it off" is loose in upstate new York...and his mind is filled with the atrocities of his murderous service for a government that NOW, just wants him dead. This movie is right up there with the great war dramas, like; Apocalypse Now. Saving Private Ryan. I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. The knife scenes are unbelievable! I believe that this video is very relevant at this time in Americas history. PTSD is a real problem with the poor young men coming home from fighting to keep America free. I think everyone above 13 should watch this movie to see what horrors the young men and women suffer to keep us safe...and free Read more

Most the movie is really good, there are however some major flaws that kinda take you out of it. I will try to keep it vague so it's not too bad. BUT! *SPOILERS* Retired trainer or former/current special ops dude, both are kinda old to be doing the stuff they are doing. It also seems to me that a retired trainer shouldn't be able to go toe to toe with a special forces person if they are currently still in the military. I'd figure they are in better shape. Even more so when his job seems to be an assassin... During the final chase, they both somehow stop to make knives. One chips a stone into knife shape, the other finds rusty steel and forges it with a fire he built. Never mind the fire getting hot enough to really do much to the steel, but how long would have taken? But somehow both figure that's a good use of their time. Why didn't the trainer guy go into it with a knife in the first place. Or a gun even? Naw, dude is gonna sit down and chip a stone into a knife. Completely logical! Other than those two issues the rest was more basic stuff. Plot armor not letting the bad guy be really hurt. But honestly for a dumb action movie, it's pretty good and worth a watch. I enjoyed it.
