This is one of those movies that people will either love or hate. It has it's flaws for sure, but this movie speaks to primitive, macho mano-a-mano movie lovers.
How realistic the knife fights are in this movie remains to be seen, It definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the Hunted will make lots of action movie and martial arts movie fans pleased and satisfied.
The main problem is with the script, which never fleshes out the antagonist and never explores the back story properly, which is really annoying.
There are also some rather silly goofs along the way, including a scene where a guy somehow builds an extensive trap in about five minutes.
But the action is plentiful and well-shot and you could do a lot worse, so this is middle of the road rather than bad.
