Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C-
Source Brief Review Grade*
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie
"There's more suspense over which star got top billing than over who's going to pummel whom into submission." more... D-
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"...a pure and rather inspired example of the one-on-one chase movie." more... B+
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
"It's a brainy, exciting but shallow show..." more... B  
Cincinnati Enquirer
Margaret A. McGurk

"...shamelessly derivative schlock..." more... D  
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
"The stripped-down narrative is almost an apology for the ludicrous story — but it's just not enough of one." more... C-
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"Both Jones and Del Toro have won Oscars, so what are they doing in a movie like this, which requires less acting talent than a high-school play?" more... C  
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"...just a Rambo rehash." more... C  
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"In The Hunted, we don't see violence as metaphor. We see violence as violence, and it's just plain boring." more... D+

Sean Axmaker
"...all about the thrill of the chase..." more... B-
USA Today
Mike Clark
"You keep waiting for there to be more, but there never is..." more... D
