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

Nell Minow Common Sense Media An awful and graphically violent movie. Rated: 1/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films Rated: C+ Oct 29, 2008 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Justin Harrison The Spool Friedkin deftly balances Bonham and Hallam’s screentime. Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 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. Aug 19, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie 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.

Carlos I The low score for The Hunted is baffling to me; I've always loved this movie. It's basically another attempt to recapture the magic of The Fugitive, but I genuinely like it even better than that film. It's brutal, moves swiftly, and I particularly enjoy the dynamic between Benicio del Toro and Tommy Lee Jones. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Chief B Don't listen to the reviews.. This movie is great. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review M B Smart action thriller. Interesting subject with excellent film making and acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Keith C This movie is a great action thriller. The pace of the movie runs smoothly and is a fun watch. It’s definitely a bloody watch, but the acting and anticipation keep you wanting more. I just love this movie, one of my favs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review 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 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 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
