BUY THIS MOVIE

Holy moly... I can't begin to tell you how pleasantly surprised I was after watching this movie. Don't let the boring DVD cover or leading man fool you. Christopher Lambert is just an ordinary business man visiting Japan. John Lone ; Yoshio Harada make the flick. Tak Kubota as Oshima gave the movie a bit of comic relief as well. The fight scenes are absolutely astounding. I watched this movie dog tired ; was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I had to recommend it to all of my friends the very next day. I'm watching it AGAIN as I am typing this review. Two words... "Train Scene." If you want to know what I'm talking about, BUY THE MOVIE. P>Have you ever watched a flick that was so good, with the main characters being so ruthless ; believable that you couldn't help but get goosebumps? Well, here's an excerpt from the film that will give nothing away but a brief foreshadowing of just how good the Samurai was: P>Paul Racine: What do we do if he loses?BR>Meiko: Takeda will not lose...
Have you got goosebumps yet? Those of you expecting a cheesy movie w/ horrible acting, CGI ; impossible stunts done with cables, turn the other way. I bought this movie site unseen ; without any recommendation from anyone except the plethora of 5 star reviews from Amazon. It was well worth the money ; you will not be disappointed.

One of my favorites

Don't be fooled by the premise that Christopher Lambert is the "star" of the movie nor that the creator of the movie also created Under Siege, The Hunted is a movie that does an excellent job of portraying the beauty of sword play, the bitterness of revenge, and beauty of justice.P>Paul Racine (Christopher Lambert) is an American on a business trip in Japan and ends up meeting Kirina (Joan Chen) at a bar at his hotel. His wonderful night with the beautiful Kirina ends with her life being taken by Kinjo (John Lone), the leader of a ninja clan that is thought to only exist in tales to scare children, and Paul is critically injured, but not killed, in the process.
Paul, unfortunately, is still hunted by the ninjas and is taken under the protection of Takeda (Yoshio Harada), a master swordsman. The movie flows through beautiful and semi-realistic sword play while the truth behind Takeda's true intentions and Kinjo's obsession with killing Paul (in order to relieve himself of the images of Kirina that are haunting him) are revealed gradually and lead to the final battle.
The movie portrays beautiful and realistic (except for a scene where Takeda deflects two throwing-stars with his sword) fighting scenes mixed with an almost classic ideaology of samurai and ninja conflict.
The DVD has basic bonus features, including cast and production notes and offers the movie in spoken french and english and sub-titled in spanish and english. Even if you are not interested in the bonus features, I would suggest at least purchasing the VHS of The Hunted.

This movie is pathetic

I'm giving up reading the reviews in Amazon. They are worthless. This film is pathetic in just about every way - plot, acting, fight sequences, etc. Yet it gets 4-5 stars. Are the reviews written by investors? Does anyone find these reviews helpful?
