The Hunted

Sometimes after seeing a trailer you think, "I've seen this movie before." It's not that you really have, it's just that you've seen so many like it that you know EXACTLY what's going to happen. The question then becomes, is it going to be worth my time? Most often the answer is "no."

In the case of "The Hunted," the answer, for me, is definitely, "yes."

Sure, it looks like "First Blood." And yeah, we've seen this kind of film many times before, but NOT with TOMMY LEE JONES and BENICIO DEL TORRO! They alone are worth the price of admission. I'm sure that The Hunted will take a lot of hits from critics for being derivative. I'm also sure that I'll be in the audience loving every minute of it!
