In the wilderness of British Columbia, two hunters are tracked and viciously murdered by Aaron Hallum. A former Special Operations instructor is approached and asked to apprehend Hallum—his former student—who has 'gone rogue' after suffering severe battle stress from his time in Kosovo.
Who better to hunt down a criminal than Tommy Lee Jones? Unfortunately, that’s also the film’s biggest problem. He’s more than 20 years older than Benicio del Toro, yet somehow runs like Hicham El Guerrouj despite a visible limp, and still manages to outfight a man supposedly among the world’s most dangerous, with the stealth of Batman, no less. Any sense of believability evaporates from the start. The plot feels thin and underdeveloped too, lacking that extra layer of depth or emotion that stronger entries in the genre like Rambo or The Fugitive deliver.
