Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hunted is a 2003 action thriller film directed by William Friedkin, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro.In the green woods of Silver Falls, Oregon, Aaron Hallam (del Toro), a trained assassin AWOL from the Special Forces, keeps his own brand of wildlife vigil. After Hallam brutally slays four deer hunters in the area, FBI Special Agent Abby Durrell (Connie Nielsen) turns to L.T. Bonham (Jones) as the one man who may be able to stop him.At first Bonham resists the mission. Snug in retirement, he's closed off to his past, the years he spent in the Special Forces training soldiers to become skilled murderers. But when he realizes that these recent slaying is the work of a man he trained, he feels obligated to stop him. Accepting the assignment under the condition that he works alone, Bonham enters the woods, unarmed—plagued by memories of his best student and riddled with guilt for not responding to Hallam's tortured letters to him as he began to slip over the edge of sanity. Furious as he is with his former mentor for ignoring his pleas for help, Hallam knows that he and Bonham share a tragic bond that is unbreakable. And, even as they go into their final combat against each other, neither can say with certainty who is the hunted and who is the hunter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the 1995 movie of the same name.

A Father to His Men: Played with. Those trained by L.T. do see him as a father figure. He does return the feeling (having kept all of Hallam's letters to him speaking of his difficulties) but finds himself failing the "Father's Dilemma": how to tell your child "I don't know the answer".

Alas, Poor Villain: It's hard not to pity Hallam when he finally dies. One can't help but wonder if he'd have been different if Bonham had listened to him, or whether he was actually right that the hunters he killed were assassins sent after him.

Artistic License – Physics: you can't get steel red hot by sticking it in a campfire. To forge steel you need a, well, forge. The training montage actually shows one.
