SYNOPSIS

Director William Friedkin gave us a cop pushing hard against the criminal element deep within himself in the classic crime thriller “The French Connection.” He enhanced the meaning of “devil” for an entire generation and gave us a rare look at a man of God fighting a malignant force by admitting that he, too, was sinful in “The Exorcist.” And in “To Live and Die in L.A.,” he locked a single-minded cop and a career criminal into a power struggle that mapped the hypocrisies of their entire society.

Now, in “The Hunted,” Friedkin explores man’s inner conflict over his own evils in the most primal, elemental way, by telling the story of a retired teacher of warfare (Tommy Lee Jones) who must battle his former student (Benicio Del Toro), a top special-forces assassin gone renegade.
