EXCELLENT car escape scene..

I've seen The Hunted several times, and I'm still mesmerized by the truly up close & personal first car scene when Hallam uses the blue car to get away through the streets of (is it Portland or Oregon City, Oregon?). Sure, every action film has at the minimum of one vehicle chase scene, but this scene feels more personal if one can see themseves sitting in a bumper to bumper traffic jam that's not going anywhere and all of a sudden someone starts ramming you from behind in a frenzy.

I was shocked when I saw the rating for The Hunted. It really should've been higher than a 6.

Does anyone have other movies which, in your opinion, rated this low but should have rated a 7 or 8??? Only sincere comments please. Others will be reported as trolls.

I agree that is an excellent sequence.

I don't think MC or IMDB care if someone is trolling. Can you even report trolls?

IMDB cared enough about trolls to abandon their beloved discussion boards.

As to OP, I think a 6 is a fair rating, the acting by Del Toro and Jones is fantastic but imo it is the writing that keeps The Hunted from breaking out of mediocrity into exceptionalism. It had great potential, there’s no denying that.
