[movie] The Hunted
| QUOTE |
| In the green woods of Silver Falls, Oregon, Aaron Hallam, a trained assassin AWOL from the Special Forces, keeps his own brand of wildlife vigil. After brutally slaying four deer hunters in the area, FBI Special Agent Abby Durrell turns to L.T. Bonham-- the one man who may be able to stop him. At first L.T. resists the mission. Snug in retirement, he's closed off to his past, the years he spent in the Special Forces training soldiers to become skilled murderers. But when he realizes that these recent slayings are the work of a man he trained, he feels obligated to stop him. Accepting the assignment under the condition that he works alone, L.T. enters the woods, unarmed--plagued by memories of his best student and riddled with gulit for not responding to Aaron's tortured letters to him as he began to slip over the edge of sanity. Furious as he is with his former mentor for ignoring his pleas for help, Aaron knows that he and L.T. share a tragic bond that is unbreakable. And, even as they go into their final combat against each other, neither can say with certainty who is the hunted and who is the hunter. |

I saw this movie last night and thought it was pretty good. Not the best, but not bad either. I really like Benecio Del Toro as an actor; my favorite movie of his is 'Traffic'. Tommy Lee Jones as always, puts in an excellent performance as Benecio's mentor and teacher, who now has to hunt him down and stop him from killing more innocent people. If anything, the movie gives the viewer some insight into the minds of those who have been trained to kill and cannot stop killing once their military assignments are over. 3.5

I found some interesting facts (Trivia) with regards to this movie:
* Benicio Del Toro broke his wrist while filming a fight scene with Tommy Lee Jones halting production for four months and pushing back the release date.
* Tommy Lee Jones' character is based on a the real life tracker/survival expert Tom Brown, who was also a technical advisor on the movie.
* Both Aaron and L.T use a form of martial arts called Sayoc Kali which is mostly knife fighting, and originated in the Philippines.
* The men were hunting Elk not deer.
