Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Nick Haysom An insurance investigator sent to a mountainous wilderness in search of a downed plane encounters a mysterious huntsman.It is a little unfair to deride this as a knock-off of A SIMPLE PLAN as it also borrows from FIRST BLOOD and, notably, THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME. The result is less than the sum of the parts but still a modestly diverting watch which is better than it deserves to be, largely due to the presence of two fine TV actors.The major draw is the lovely Amick, who manages to remain superbly coiffed and made-up even in extremes, and who exudes a self-confidence the script does not always credit her character with. Hamlin, who sensibly submitted to television's embrace after the movies' rejection, and who is now best remembered for LA LAW, is also a cut above as the grizzled drop-out woodsman. Ironically the film's best moments are the interplay between the two, the action scenes suffering from too many convenient contrivances to convince.Amick and Hamlin are presented as two sides of the same coin: both hunters, though in different environments. The contrast provided by each's struggling in turn to be pre-eminent in the other's world is potentially interesting, as is the question of whether Amick must subvert her humanity in order to survive in a feral world. Unfortunately, neither of these ideas are sufficiently well developed and the film is sunk by its lack of proportion: the main story of her-in-his-world reaching a natural end, only for the him-in-her-world to start up and be played out in a foreshortened coda.Had the film been 15 minutes shorter and better proportioned it might have extended its appeal beyond its leads' respective fanbases.
George Parker Amick makes a solid centerpiece as she runs from tree to tree and pillar to post in this lame drama about an insurance investigator who goes deep into a Canadian forest to retrieve $12 million from a downed aircraft...armed with her lipstick and assorted cosmetics. "The Hunted", just another of a zillion or so people-hunting-people flicks, is trite, simple minded, predictable, and full of plotholes. An okay shoot, the story fails early on urging the thumb to inch toward the fast-forward button. Passable and forgettable. (D+)
Sharon-13 A weak copy of a great movie - WOUNDED, which starred the SAME woman, but this time being chased by Adrian Pasdar. Check out WOUNDED to see how it SHOULD be done.
idunno What's with the white dog/wolf? Where was the watch dog when Sam came back to the cabin? Where was the watch dog when the cabin burned? How did Doc get out of the cabin? How did this city woman find her way around in the bush? There are more holes.Does whoever make this movie think audiences are so stupid that they won't notice?
