Very exciting. Great movie. He was trained to kill and then they could not "untrain" him.

Can The student beat the teacher? One of the best suspense films since The Exorcist. If you don't watch this you are a FOOL!

Tommy Lee Jones is great in this movie. First of all it is credible. It is brutal. It makessense. There is great action. They didn't have to use profanity describing the sexual act,nor did they have to take the Lord's name in vain. In fact, the action and the tension of dramathroughout this movie made it so that kind of stupid script would have seriously detractedand really shows how foolish the writers and directors who must resort to that for their emphasisare. I thought the viciousness of the training and methods of killing showed expertise to theart. Nothing is more disgusting than to have somebody be supposedly a deadly assassin and thenhave them do stuff that would embarrass a cub scout as far as craft in the woods. This movie didn't makesuch silly mistakes and had a high level of expertise throughout. Also they didn't have to resort to nudity andintrusive sex scenes that did not advance the story. I highly recommend this movie.

I worked as a surveyor in some of the Oregon/Washington scenes. Portrayal of tracking was very realistic. I've bow-hunted with former Special Forces types in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, back in the cold bogs and swapped stories with them. I was once hunted by a deranged older local, himself an expert tracker, that'd followed me into the woods. I never walk on trails and always backtrack before setting a hide or tree stand. In this case the guy walked past me and had a laxative moment when he heard the click as I cocked the hammer on my pistol. I'd met him in midday and he was talking weirdly then and just had the hunch he was a psychopath of some sort, so I'd carried my1911 .45 in addition to my compound that afternoon. I let him go as he lived by himself in the woods and wasn't likely to be a threat to gun hunters, he'd thought me an easy target, but was mistaken.My hunting mentor, who'd been a personal friend of the great Fred Bear and hunted with him many times in Alaska and Canada, used to call me "Killer", because he never saw the animals I'd killed when I based out of his lodge in the UP. I only hunted for meat - can't eat horns! His friends that bow-hunted there with me, usually in the Oct dark of the moon, were the best of the best, either West Virginian hill folk or former Special Forces guys.I've known former Mercenaries and Contractors that fit the description of the antagonist in this movie. There are more of them in our society than one might think. The movie was very realistic, even if the knife moves were slightly skewed. The military screws up a lot of especially men. One friend, a Nam Vet, slept with his Browning Hi-Power in his hand for the rest of his life. I'm usually always within reach of a weapon of some sort, but sleeping with Ma Browning might frighten my wife!

Really good - keeps you intrigued, and even though you might want to guess what's coming up next - don't. Makes you wonder if this is a real issue with our men and women who serve overseas in operations we have no idea about.
