The Hunted is an impressively stripped down thriller. For a film from the early 00s, the music and editing is surprisingly subdued. Benicio Del Toro and Tommy Lee Jones both give really solid performances, each painting a portrait of an antisocialite who found purpose in violence.

With all the grandiosity, I was impressed with how intimate a film it is. For every jaw-dropping vista and mesmerizing fight, there's an extreme close-up, a deep breath, a stolen glance. The whole cast is so excellent that I can't…
