From Academy Award winning director William Friedkin (THE EXORCIST) comes this gut-wrenching game of cat and mouse. FBI agent Abby Durrell (Connie Nielson) and her recruit, L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones) are on the hunt for trained assassin Aaron Hallam (Benicio Del Toro). Hallam’s made a sport out of shooting deer hunters in the forests outside Portland, Oregon. Now, spanning both natural and urban wildernesses, Bonham and Durrell must outwit their killer with precision in this incredibly suspenseful thriller.

WONDERFUL ACTION MOVIE
I worked as a surveyor in some of the Oregon/Washington scenes. Portrayal of tracking was very realistic. I've bow-hunted with former Special Forces types in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, back in the cold bogs and swapped stories with them. I was once hunted by a deranged older local, himself an expert tracker, that'd followed me into the woods. I never walk on trails and always backtrack before setting a hide or tree stand. In this case the guy walked past me and had a laxative moment when he heard the click as I cocked the hammer on my pistol. I'd met him in midday and he was talking weirdly then and just had the hunch he was a psychopath of some sort, so I'd carried my1911 .45 in addition to my compound that afternoon. I let him go as he lived by himself in the woods and wasn't likely to be a threat to gun hunters, he'd thought me an easy target, but was mistaken.My hunting mentor, who'd been a personal friend of the great Fred Bear and hunted with him many times in Alaska and Canada, used to call me "Killer", because he never saw the animals I'd killed when I based out of his lodge in the UP. I only hunted for meat - can't eat horns! His friends that bow-hunted there with me, usually in the Oct dark of the moon, were the best of the best, either West Virginian hill folk or former Special Forces guys.I've known former Mercenaries and Contractors that fit the description of the antagonist in this movie. There are more of them in our society than one might think. The movie was very realistic, even if the knife moves were slightly skewed. The military screws up a lot of especially men. One friend, a Nam Vet, slept with his Browning Hi-Power in his hand for the rest of his life. I'm usually always within reach of a weapon of some sort, but sleeping with Ma Browning might frighten my wife!

Action thriller with real situations by a U.S. Special Forces who does his job and suffers the consequences ...
The Hunted is the story of a loyal U.S. Military Special Forces team member sent on amission to assassinate one of the Serbian rebels.The action is great and the story is great, but the message is that our own Government betraysit's own military and really does leave them behind.I know cause I come form a Military Family and I know others in special forces and U.S. Navy SEALSthat were highly decorated Silver star recipients and Purple Heart winners.We need to support our men and women and give them special assignments after being exposed tothe truths about "War".The female FBI agent was a total "fiction" and nothing like real agents. I know quite a few.Procedures and other techniqueswere way off the scale and not done(It's only a movie right)The character "LT" played by Tommy :Lee Jones was not as developed as is really used in training combat soldiers.The Character trained soldiers for CQC type drills with a knife. The training is good, but without actual "experience", it isuseless for the field, unless you have a martial arts background.The knife used or made was interesting, but many experts have debunked it as a throwing knife and just a partially well made survival knife.All in all, it was a fun ride, but not very accurate but that is because the message was in another direction.I also worked for the U.S. Secret Service, so I had to be a "counter-sniper" and "Counter-Terrorism Expert."I also recommend a movie with Peter Coyote called "Le Grande Arte"(1991) which has some really cool knife fights and real fighting techniques. Enjoy !!

Harsh. Ex Soldier just can't "turn IT off"
This is my favorite movie with Tommy Lee Jones as the protagonist. Benicio del Toro did a really super job portraying the soldier that could not "turn it off". The training that soldiers get are ingrained into their very being; to kill without hesitation. To put emotions into a box inside their head and lock it down tight -not to be opened again until their tour of duty is at an end. But, sadly, some can never learn to let their training...their war face...the cold killer that the military has ingrained so deeply, just simply 'go away'. To just turn it off and forget it. del Torro's character is one of these.Tommy Lee Jones (or LT) has been raised by his father, a fighter, and his father's father, all trained in stalking, tracking, surviving. Blending in and becoming a ghost. LT does not like guns. He specializes in stabbing weapons. How to make them (even out of flint if necessary) how to fight with them, and del Toro's character was his most skilled and astute student.The war is over. But the soldier that could not "turn it off" is loose in upstate new York...and his mind is filled with the atrocities of his murderous service for a government that NOW, just wants him dead. This movie is right up there with the great war dramas, like; Apocalypse Now. Saving Private Ryan. I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. The knife scenes are unbelievable! I believe that this video is very relevant at this time in Americas history. PTSD is a real problem with the poor young men coming home from fighting to keep America free. I think everyone above 13 should watch this movie to see what horrors the young men and women suffer to keep us safe...and free
