CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Christopher Lambert is known as Duncan McCleod in The Highlander films, but he is Japan. He is not dealing with other immortals. He is dealing with ninjas. Lambert plays Paul Racine, a computer chip executive from New York who meets a beautiful stranger in a bar, and would get way over his head. Racine is on a business trip. He meets a woman in a red dress(Joan Chen) drinking sake, and a small romance is sparked. The bath scene did get my father's goat when she get in the tub dress and all. After that, they go their separate ways. However, Paul forgot to return the keys only to find out that he ends up in a situation he will never forget. After being attacked by ninjas, he is helped by a samurai. Kinjo(John Lone) is the ninja leader who stalks Racine for seeing his face. After leaving trails of blood trying to find him, he's relentless. Racine goes on an island where the samurais-training are, he gets a chance to learn how to use a sword against a ninja. Now Lambert has formal training in sword use in "The Highlander " films, just say it pays off in this film. Very subtle because there is more sword use than martial arts. Other than that, it is a decent film to watch. A keeper in my book. 4 out of 5 stars.

movieman_kev Businessman Paul Racine (Christopher Lambert of Highlander fame) meets the lovely enigmatic Kirina (Twin Peak's Joan Chan) and has a one-night stand, however it's not all sunshine and lollipops as later that same night he inadvertently witnesses her execution and the perpetrators that did it send him to the hospital. The thing is that he's the only living person who has seen the ninja assassin's face and has lived, so now he's in mortal danger. He has to go on the run in a vain attempt to survive the inevitable onslaught upon him.I liked the fact that the movie stayed true to its characters and didn't let a businessman go all action hero on numerous highly trained ninjas, that would've rung out as false and a cop out. The film is also well acted and kept my rapt attention throughout, which is a big feat in and of itself.Eye Candy: Joan Chan gets topless; an unknown extra gets fully nudeMy Grade: BWhere I saw it: Encore Action

31416-1 I believe liked this movie The Hunted better ten years ago, when I saw part of it on television. Despite I like watching movies uncut, I was that much younger. This was not a bad movie, I found it be all right. It was about an American businessman Paul Racine witnessing a murder of a local Japanese woman. The Ninja Cult attempted to kill Racine, and after learning of Racine's survival, they were out to finish the job. Today, I told a friend about this movie, and he thought of it as a comedy. If anyone seen this movie and saw the great lengths and amount of people, they will kill in order get to their target, they would not find it to be so funny. I recommend to this movie to anyone who likes intensity.

lastliberal Samurai flicks may be considered a guilty pleasure, but this one is well worth watching.It is not a Toshiro Mifune classic, but it features plenty of Samurai action and lots of blood is spilled.Christopher Lambert (Highlander I, II, and III; Mortal Kombat) plays an American businessman who picks up an extremely lovely Joan Chen (Lust, Caution; Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl) in a bar and they have a pleasurable time before ninjas arrive to kill her for a transgression. The leader, John Lone (The Last Emperor, Year of the Dragon) is identified and the hunt begins.The businessman enlists the help of super Japanese actor Yoshio Harada and Yôko Shimada (Shogun and "Shogun"). What he doesn't realize ifs the Samurai isn't really interested in helping, he just wants to do battle with the Ninja.It's fast paced and exciting with enough exploitation to make it special.
