The HuntedWhile it does not reach the highs of his earlier films like The Exorcist, The French Connection, and To Live and Die in LA, William Friedkin does produce an interesting take on the cat-and-mouse genre that I have always found highly watch able. Benicio Del Toro is having a lot of fun, and Tommy Lee Jones continues to add to his man-hunting-man resume of films (The Fugitive, US Marshals, In The Valley of Elah, The Missing, No Country for Old Men...). The knife choreography is pretty spectacular, and the 21st Century Rambo premise is solid. Let me know what you all think if this film, I feel like it has been basically forgotten.
