The Hunted movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: A remarkably stupid and unpleasant chase picture. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: The sight of Jones expending his sizable acting chops on this piece of macho blowhard fluff is distressing only if you can't relax and appreciate The Hunted on a camp level, where it functions quite hilariously. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: The Hunted has little to recommend it but some well-staged hand-to-hand combat, scenes in which, thankfully, no one double-back-flips into trees with the help of wires and digital doodling. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The Hunted is so openly, defiantly derivative of 1982's First Blood, you figure there has to be a copyright lawsuit brewing right this very minute. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: 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. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: An enjoyable movie that keeps hinting at something deeper that it doesn't deliver. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: This isn't a movie: it's a police report and the strictly-the-facts terseness of the story makes this more than clear. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: There's more suspense over which star got top billing than over who's going to pummel whom into submission. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: The film has great forward thrust -- Friedkin's a full-throttle guy -- and the director knows where to put the camera. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Although it is a rough ride, The Hunted is also an exciting one. But no tracking skills were needed to follow its well-traveled cinematic road. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: The new psychological thriller The Hunted, proves once again that even performances by two Academy Award-winning actors -- in this case Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro -- can't save a misconceived, misguided project and a one-note premise. Read more
Vic Vogler, Denver Post: An intense, if terse, character study that does not let us settle into comfortable delineations of good and evil. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The Hunted stalks the masculine psyche with sharp knives, but it tracks its audience too noisily to bag us. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: You got your hunted, you got your hunter, and away they go. And go and go. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: As a whole, The Hunted will not stick with you. But individual moments will be hard to forget. Read more
Henry Sheehan, L.A. Weekly: Not much more than a glossy, caffeine-jacked re-do of Rambo. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Things take off immediately and stay in motion for 90 solid, economical minutes. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: Ludicrous, plotless, ho-hum tale of lurid confrontation. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: This is schlock -- by-the-numbers action that ignores character development to the point where we find it hard to care whether L.T. catches Hallam or whether they end up running after each other until the world ends. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: What makes the movie fresh is that it doesn't stand back and regard its pursuit as an exercise, but stays very close to the characters and focuses on the actual physical reality of their experience. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro batter each other to a bloody pulp in this utterly brain-dead and depressing 'thriller.' Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Technically, it's well made, but it wasn't worth making. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Friedkin is in his element. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Here we go again with Tommy Lee Jones chasing a fugitive, right out of ... what was that movie called? Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: An unpleasant action suspenser more dedicated to hurtling relentlessly forward than to vesting audience interest. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Essentially a reheating of 1982's First Blood ... but the fallout this time is simultaneously more ruthless, less emotional, and duller. Read more
