...a fairly irresistible setup that's employed to mostly erratic, underwhelming effect... Go to Full Review

A mostly risible graphic martial-arts thriller, that's not for the squeamish or the critical. Go to Full Review

Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 May 23 While Christopher Lambert is still an wonderfully campy lead but this martial arts thriller is surprisingly boring See more Tim D 01/28/2024 One of my all time favs. If you love Highlander and American Ninja you'll love The Hunted. See more Steve D 02/17/2023 Entertaining enough but Lambert feels like an afterthought in his own film. See more 07/31/2021 Watched it again last night, just as good as it was first time in the 90s. See more 05/08/2021 One of the few movies I've seen where ninjas are portrayed as formidable professional killers rather than expendable cartoonish cannon fodder See more 07/19/2015 Entertaining mix of crime thriller and martial arts/ninja flick, it's like the producers said; "Let's make some shit up where Christopher Lambert can use a sword."
