| THE
HUNTED
With Tommy Lee Jones, Benicio Del Toro, Connie Nielsen
Directed
by William Friedkin
Aaron Hallam (Del Toro) is a highly trained special-forces
soldier whose killing for his country has seriously affected him. When hunters
in the Pacific Northwest start turning up dead, the tact and methods point to
more than a random act. An expert is called in to track him. Jones plays L.T.
Bonham, the retired nature-man who actually trained Hallam. The manhunt takes
them from the forest into the city as the renegade constantly gets the slip. Hardly
mind-blowing, director Friedkin has made some crackers like The
Exorcist and To
Live And Die In L.A.,
but this is the kind of uninspired action-thriller that any unknown director could've
made. . The lead players' Oscar status (and statues) do little to boost its effect.
