Some movies are made just for action, some just for story.
Unfortunately, the Hunted doesn't seem to fit either category.
There is not much depth to the story here, although they try hard to make it seem that way.
Simply: A killing machine is on the loose, so they send the guy who trained him to get him. No side story needed to forward the plot.
Tommy Lee Jones gives a decent performance as L.T. Bonham, the "hunter". Nothing spectacular, but not bad either.
Benicio del Toro gives a good performance as Aarom Hallam, the killing machine who does not give much purpose as to why he IS a killing machine.
Connie Nielsen and Jose Zuniga are OK as FBI agents Durrell and Moret.
There were some great action scenes, and a few interesting moments. I wouldn't call them extraordinary though.
Over all: OK movie. Watch if you have nothing better to do.
5/10
