Chicago Sun-Times
Walking in, I thought I knew what to expect, but i didn't anticipate how William Friedkin would jolt me with the immediate urgency of the action. This is not an arm's-length chase picture, but a close physical duel between its two main characters. - 75
Chicago Tribune
Engrossing as it is, The Hunted is more a showcase for formidable talent than anything else. It's a brainy, exciting but shallow show -- an expert's action movie that almost runs out of breath. - 63
Charlotte Observer
Few modern thrillers aspire to look this striking. - 50
Rolling Stone
Just a "Rambo" rehash. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Friedkin has huffed and puffed and blown up a single chase sequence into the whole damn movie. You got your hunted, you got your hunter, and away they go. And go and go. - 50
Slate
Brutally exciting and sometimes brutally inept. - 50
Miami Herald
The Hunted is so openly, defiantly derivative of 1982's "First Blood," you figure there has to be a copyright lawsuit brewing right this very minute. - 38
New York Daily News
As in "The Edge," in which Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins were stranded in the wilds, you can earn a wildernesssurvival merit badge just from watching.
