The Hunted (2003)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris sharpen their homemade knives and dive into 2003's The Hunted, which just released on 4K for the first time. Directed by the late William Friedkin, The Hunted stars Benicio Del Toro as Aaron Hallam, a former special forces soldier who suffers from PTSD and goes rogue, killing several people in state parks in Oregon. His former mentor, L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones) is brought in to the help the FBI track Hallam and it becomes a deadly cat and mouse game between teacher and student. Zach and Chris discuss the similarities to First Blood, the CQC training class, stone vs steel knives, the deeper ideas hidden behind the simple premise, clothing continuity errors, and more. You can check out the new 4K version of The Hunted or watch it streaming on Paramount+. Next week, we're heading to PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, and to get into the board game mindset, we're discussing the OG Jumanji. We want to hear your comments and feedback.
