A rogue special-forces soldier is tracked down by his former mentor in this action thriller from director William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist). In his first role since winning a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2001, Benicio del Toro stars as Aaron Hallam, one of the U.S. military's most skilled hand-to-hand combat operatives. In the years following his successful assassination of a Serbian warlord in late-'90s Kosovo, Hallam finds himself plagued by traumatic flashbacks of death and destruction, so much so that when he finally returns home, he regresses into a feral, survivalist state in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. There, he deliberately and elaborately hunts and kills poachers who happen to cross his path. When the FBI investigates the murders, they call in the man who taught Hallam everything he knows: retiree L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones). As the instructor pursues his unhinged former pupil, Bonham begins to learn about key events in Hallam's life that pushed him over the edge. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Rose F.

With both top director and top actors you expect more. Very boring, drawn out, and predictable. Glad I didn't waste my money going to the show, nor buying this one off the rack.

This is a great film. Sayoc Kali did an incredible job of choreographing the fight scenes and Benicio and Jones come off as experts. The performances and the story itself is subtle, apparently some people prefer to be beaten over the head with plot so this movie may not be for them. If you don't mind having to think a little and examine what's put in front of you this is a great film. Despite what uncredited second boom operators may feel,this is a must see- the acting is subtle and the action is both realistic and exciting.

An acceptable use of the time. I epxected to get more drawn into one of the main characters but that never happened. Tommy Lee Jones seemed to play a watered down / slightly more crunchy version of his character from U.S. Marshalls.
