A pretty decent "crazy psycho war vet on the run" film from William Friedkin who actually manages to restrain himself from his own excesses.
Tommy Lee Jones is the guy who trains special ops soldiers for secret missions, Benico del Toro is one of his soldiers who turns out to be a nutcase who runs around killing deer hunters in northwest Oregon because he can. It's mano a mano with some pretty tough fight scenes between the two of them.
For a director who never met an excess that he wouldn't put on film this is a fairly restrained film considering how violent it is. The action is tough but realistic, and there are no apparent over done special effects with computer imagery. Connie Nielsen is the hot looking FBI agent assigned to the case but Friedkin is having none of that lovely dovey stuff in his film.
The film is a fast moving hour and a half.
94 minutes.
