The Hunted

    One of Tommy Lee Jones more obscure movies. I may be living in a cave but he doesn't seem to be on the radar too much right now. This isn't simply a replay of The Fugitive and has a quite understated mood. At first I thought it would simply be a stalking movie to find the hunter but he's actually revealed quite early on. He's motives are well thought out and described just enough, he'd be quite an intriguing character if the film dwelt more on him. Unfortunately it's too short for that and I felt the ending should have been more climactic. It doesn't make the mistake of substituting raw action for depth however, and the portrayal of the landscape actually overpowers the details of the film itself. It makes me want to go and spend time living in the woods but doesn't give me the thrill of an edge of the seat cop chase movie.
