Movie review - "The Hunted" (2003) **1/2

 The last of William Friedkin's four Sherry Lansing movies came and went in theatres quite quickly but is a decent action thriller with Benicio del Toro going on a killing spree and his mentor Tommy Lee Jones being called in to track him down.

The movie's main problem is aching familiarity. del Toro is tormented and Jones is tormented and one chases after the other and there's Connie Nielsen as a plucky FBI agent and a couple of red shirts to be killed and some girl ni del Toro's past.

A few of the fight scenes in the bush are well done  - maybe the whole film needed to be set in the bush, but they capture del Toro and he escapes in the city.

This was fine.
