I had a pretty good time watching this movie, although it is not really good. Actually it is a movie I have already seen, only then it was called 'First Blood' starring Sylvester Stallone as Rambo. Not that both movies are exactly the same, even the atmosphere is very different, but the basics are the same.
Benicio Del Toro is Aaron Hallam, a guy who fought in Kosovo in 1999. Four years later, in the woods of Oregon, he starts to kill hunters because he does not approve their methods. His technique is learned to him by L.T. (Tommy Lee Jones) and he must be the one to find Aaron. In one scene L.T. explains why Aaron does this and it sounds pretty reasonable. From this point the movie is basically a chase. Two men chasing each other.
Like I said I had a good time. The story goes the way you would probably guess but it doesn't really matter. The images are always beautiful or interesting, there is suspense and the man to man fights look very good, especially the final one. Tommy Lee Jones, Benicio Del Toro and also Connie Nielsen as a FBI-agent make their characters believable. Not great, but definitely entertaining.
