I don't know about the rest of you movie watchers, but I don't want to see Tommy Lee Jones chase down another criminal. I've already seen "The Fugitive", and that was an excellent movie. I've already seen "U.S. Marshalls", and that movie was pretty good. Now I have to see an over the hill Tommy Lee Jones doing a similar role? Is he a victim of type casting? I couldn't even bear to watch the end because it was getting too predictable and just too ridiculous. I was waiting to see if L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones) was going to be able to fly along with all the other amazing things he was able to do. It was just unbearable.

I got a part time job working movie security for the opening scene of the destroyed street in Kosovo. The set was built by the Willamette River in Portland. The pyrotechnics scarred many neighbors nearby. It was very creepy walking through the set at night alone with fake bodies and buildings that looked like they could collapse on me at any time. I did get to wave to Del Toro and director William Friedkin as they were transported to the set in Cadillacs during the day at Oxbow Park. Fun experience which makes me give the film a better review than it probably deserves.

I loved this movie. It has great action suspense and is a really good movie for Tommy Lee Jones. The first time I saw previews for this movie, I thought it was just another thriller. I rented the movie though and loved the action sequences in it. To avoid spoilers omit this next part. It has everything from jumping off buildings, falling off cliffs into dangerous undertow, jumping onto aerocars, lots of knife action and foot pursuits. However, there is one drawback to this movie since it can be a little bloody, gruesome and gross at times. Other than that it is a terrific action movie and Tommy Lee Jones delivers as usual. I recommend it for anyone who wants to see a good action flick. I give it 10 out of 10.

Jake (Josh Stewart) is a great hunter from "By God" West Virginia... or was it West "By God" Virginia. He wants to start his own hunting TV series called "The Tree Hugger" as he spends most of his time in a deer stand. He has a professional camera man friend as they head out to deer camp. They are hunting a newly opened area, one that has a huge buck nicknamed, "Movie Star." There is an early clue as to what is about to happen, although the title isn't clear until later. Kudos to DVD cover guys for not revealing any plot spoilers. Some of the film was fine, but other footage, such as watching the trailer hitch, left something to be desired. Much of the film is found footage, while some is not, and I wish they did the herky-jerky ending in the "not" group. What it really looks like is that Josh works at Cabela's and got a bunch of hunting gear sponsors to make them an 87 minute commercial we would pay to watch. Guide: 1 F-bomb. No sex or nudity

Good work for showing Serbians as war criminals and genocidal people, for finding Albanians and Bosnians to act Serbians, for putting our internal question as World War III to justify NATO bombing, killing civilians and ethnical cleaning Serbs from Kosovo! Shame on you, I hope that you got great payment from terrorists, drug dealers and butchers!

Recycling to save the earth is fine, but this piece of recycled hollywood c... is so lame. oy, hollywood, how'but this one: 3 US rangers (spec-ops, veal-chops) sneak close to enemy lines (say, serbian, whatahack), and out of nowhere come bad boys and snatch them...and nobody knows where they're until few days later when they're shown on enemy tv and than they say how stupid they are. no, this can't be used in a script, because ...it actually happened. holly s..., now what? ok, i have a good one - us pilot is shot down behind enemy lines, and than tries to survive by hunting and eating bad guys (say, serbian, whatahack). and than comes this retired army guy who'd originally trained the pilot-man-hero-cannibal in survival skills, kinda looks like emeril, and tells him over the satellite phone how to cook them (', some basil, a pinch of salt, wa-bamm!'). how's that for a plot, eh?

At least in the Rambo film First Blood everything that happened was "believable ". Who in their right minds would include the making of a sharp knife from a piece of discarded metal, make a fantastic furnace using a clump of burning grass , obtained from rubbing two sticks together, and all this done in a very short space of time whilst on the run. Not to mention the anvil and the hammer that miraculously appeared in this "forge". Compared to this film changing water into wine isn't worth a mention.

The Hunted (2003) was a flat out disaster and a mockery in the filmography of William Freidken. It's always sad to see such a great film maker fall so hard. Why does he continue to make bad mainstream movies. The movie wouldn't be so bad if it was a comedy (it wasn't). But the inane situations, bad dialog and impossible scenarios made it seem like one. There were a few elements that were carried over from his last movie. Another tired re-tread actor and more xenophobia!! Great... I didn't like this movie. The same old, same old. I expected something different form William Friedkin. I mean during his hey day he was the man. But now he should hang them up and head for the exit. Enjoy your retirement Billy, you deserve it! Now go out and restore your classic films! Not recommended at all.
