synopsis
In the green woods of Silver Falls, Oregon, Aaron Hallam, a trained assassin AWOL from the Special Forces, keeps his own brand of wildlife vigil. After brutally slaying four deer hunters in the area, FBI Special Agent Abby Durrell turns to L.T. Bonham-- the one man who may be able to stop him. At first L.T. resists the mission. Snug in retirement, he's closed off to his past, the years he spent in the Special Forces training soldiers to become skilled murderers. But when he realizes that these recent slayings are the work of a man he trained, he feels obligated to stop him. Accepting the assignment under the condition that he works alone, L.T. enters the woods, unarmed--plagued by memories of his best student and riddled with gulit for not responding to Aaron's tortured letters to him as he began to slip over the edge of sanity. Furious as he is with his former mentor for ignoring his pleas for help, Aaron knows that he and L.T. share a tragic bond that is unbreakable. And, even as they go into their final combat against each other, neither can say with certainty who is "the hunted" and who is "the hunter."

Tommy Lee Jones as a special-ops instructor, and Benicio Del Toro as the psycho soldier he trained to kill, beat and stab each other to a gory pulp. William Friedkin directs the knife fights with French Connection relish, but the film is just a Rambo rehash.

When a Special Forces assassin goes off the deep end, it's up to the guy who trained him to stop him.

Story

Aaron Hallam (Benicio Del Toro) is one of the best assassins the Special Forces has ever seen, but it seems ''battle stress'' has gotten the better of him. Taking off into the Oregon woods, he dismembers four so-called hunters with his specially made knife in a short period of time, quickly becoming public enemy No. 1. Hallam's expertise as a trained hunter far surpasses anything the FBI… Continued
