Die Stunde des Jägers (2003)
9KDie Stunde des Jägers: Directed by William Friedkin. With Tommy Lee Jones, Benicio Del Toro, Connie Nielsen, Leslie Stefanson. An FBI deep-woods tracker attempts to capture a trained assassin who has made a sport of hunting humans.
“In terms of action, this film is competently made with enough good action (particularly the chase at the end and the fighting between Del Toro and Jones) to almost make you forgive the other problems. Friedkin has proven his worth with action before, but what he had to work with here could have been better developed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn the writeru0026#39;s opinion, there are no characters in this film, only the basic sketches of people are there. One guy good, other guy bad. Bad guy goes killing people (for a reason that was presented but still obscure), good guy hired to get bad guy. Del Toro was really cheesy here, doing a lot of ponderous sky staring and stumbling over his lines and Tommy Lee Jones was…well, Tommy Lee Jones.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, if youu0026#39;re looking for a throwaway actioner then this is for you. Donu0026#39;t expect it to be massively engaging though. Listen out for Johnny Cash at the start and end of the film.”
