Movie Review

Grade: C+ Academy Award winners Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro, along with Academy Award nominee Connie Nielsen, team up for the serious action flickThe Hunted, directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist). The talent, along with the fact that Jones is back in a role that he does so well, suggests that The Hunted should be one of the coolest movies of the year; unfortunately, it does not live up to expectations.

The Hunted, by Charlie

December 15, 2003

The only thing that saves this film from being rated with an 'F' and up to a 'D' is that I have never EVER laughed so hard watching a film. The scene where Hallam (Del Toro) re-visits an ex girlfriend / acquaintance (?), gets re-captured, then promptly escapes via a window and a sloping roof is the most stupid thing I have ever seen. Moronic dialogue, no plot exposition, unintentional side-splittingly funny scenes, and laughable 'special' effects. If you enjoy laughing at bad films this ones for you!
