Be prepared to endure pounds of painful preposterousness in return for the film's pint-sized pleasures.

There is a chase sequence between Hallam and Bonham through the streets of Portland that begins promisingly enough, but soon becomes so ungainly I had no idea what was up and where was down.

There's too much talent on-screen and behind the camera for The Hunted to be dull, but it is predictable and disappointing, and we seem to be missing about a half-hour's worth of scenes that would have brought some depths to these characters.

Essentially a reheating of 1982's First Blood ... but the fallout this time is simultaneously more ruthless, less emotional, and duller.

By stripping an action thriller this close to the bone, director William Friedkin has removed too much meat.

Jones just looks ready to keel over, and Del Toro as though he might need to take a breather.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2003
Has so little going for it, you wonder if you've missed something.

A good ride, briskly paced, well played and vividly photographed.

An unpleasant action suspenser more dedicated to hurtling relentlessly forward than to vesting audience interest.

Friedkin is in his element.

The Hunted serves mostly as a reminder that three Academy Award winners are as capable of making a silly movie as anyone.

Technically, it's well made, but it wasn't worth making.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 14, 2003
The Hunted isn't exactly fraught with psychological depth and nuance, but as a stalker-stalkee suspenser, the pic has some nice things going for it.

The generic title is your first clue that The Hunted is run-of-the-mill.

Things take off immediately and stay in motion for 90 solid, economical minutes.
