I always enjoy Tommy Lee Jones in a movie. It isn’t that I think he is all that good of an actor, it’s just that something about the way he portrays his character just always entertains me. That’s about the best thing I can say about The Hunted.
This movie is a cross between First Blood and The Fugitive but both of those movies were actually better. The scenes in the Oregon rain forrests reminds me so much of First Blood that I expected Stallone to POP up any minute. That probably would have been a good thing.
I never understood the plot, if there really was a plot, I never understood what drove Aaron Hallam (Benicio Del Toro) over the edge and I still don’t know exactly what I was watching, but I sure enjoyed watching Tommy Lee Jones. He played pretty much the same character that he always plays. One of these days I’m going to have to figure out what it is about him that I find so damn entertaining.
About Larry D. Burton
I'm a 55 year old controls engineer who just likes tinkering with stuff.
Finished high school at a local institute of learning. Decided it wasn't a good time to be a healthy, physically fit 18 year old with no college experience. Entered college and started working toward a degree in animal husbandry.
1975-1976
Discoverd that I was not going to be a very good husband of animals so I left school to figure out what I might be good at. A local beverage company took pity on me and paid me to go from place to place making sure their on tap beverages were maintaining their high quality.
1976-1979
Got out of quality control and into vending. Learned about control systems and refrigeration also learned that vending machines are heavy and vending doesn't pay all that well.
In 1977 I found myself married
1979-1981
Dedicated myself to installing and maintaining commercial refrigeration equipment. Found myself on the roof of a local grocery store one night in the middle of an ice storm replacing a compressor and figured it was time to get back into school.
1981-1986
Got my but back into school at night and changed jobs to keep the mechanical and electrical systems of a local coporate hospital in working order. The job expanded to unstopping drains and burning lab samples and amputated body parts.
1986-now
Finished school and took on a job designing, installing and maintaining industrial control systems. Along the way I picked up a bunch of computer skills that became very useful connecting various industrial controllers to one another and moving the data into coporate databases. I now operate Dallas Bay Technologies, a one man shop specializing in technology solutions for industrial problems.
