The Hunted (2003)

Cast Tommy Lee Jones, Benicio Del Toro, Connie Nielsen, Jenna Boyd, Leslie Stefanson, Robert Blanche, Aaron Brounstein

In the Pacific Northwest wilderness, two hunters are tracked and viciously murdered by Aaron Hallum (Benicio del Toro). In the wilderness of British Columbia, L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones), a former special operations instructor, is approached and asked to apprehend Hallum, his former student who has "gone renegade" after suffering severe battle stress from his time in Kosovo. Bonham is assisted by an FBI task force, led by an agent-in-charge Abby Durrell (Connie Nielsen). Despite the continuing presence of the FBI and local authorities, the search begins and ends as a personal battle between Bonham and Hallum, who contends that the murdered hunters were in fact "sweepers" (assassins who kill other assassins who get out of line).

Aaron Hallam, un tueur en série particulièrement joueur et passé maître dans l'art du camouflage, compte à son actif plusieurs chasseurs de daims disparus dans la région de Seattle. Il débarque à Portland et commet des meurtres dans le seul but de faire l'objet d'une chasse à l'homme. Ses souhaits sont exaucés lorsque Jay Bonham, un limier du FBI, et son associée Abby Tucker se lancent à ses trousses. S'engage alors un redoutable jeu du chat et de la souris.
