Christopher Lambert, the imposing French actor with the nasal whine best known to American audiences as Scottish swordsman Highlander, plays a rank amateur in The Hunted. He's an American businessman in Japan who lucks into a one-night stand with slinky Joan Chen and winds up a witness to her murder by a mysterious band of black-clad ninjas. Escaping not one but two attempts on his life by a little quick thinking and a lot of dumb luck, he winds up on a harrowing bullet train ride. As swarms of masked assassins decimate passengers in search of the elusive eyewitness, Lambert's laconic protector, rough-edged samurai Yoshio Harada, unleashes a martial arts frenzy of flashing swords in close quarters. His savior is not as altruistic as he seems, however. He just wants to lure mysterious ninja overlord John Lone out of hiding and into a fight to the death on Harada's island fortress, and Lambert is little more than live bait. Though it made few ripples at the box office, The Hunted is a slick and surprisingly smart thriller. Lone and Harada cut striking figures as the warriors following ancient codes in the modern world, and writer-director J.F. Lawton (screenwriter of Pretty Woman and Under Siege) gives them almost as much screen time as ostensible hero Lambert. The action scenes are furious and fast paced, lacking the grace and precision of real Japanese samurai adventures but full of clever flourishes. --Sean Axmaker

So the picture quality is pretty good, not amazing but the best I've ever seen it. The soundtrack is epic, really epic. The reason I love this film so much is because it removes all of the mysticism and makes it authentic and believable. Christopher Lambert is his usual self, the stand outs are the ninja, his victim and the samurai who is looking for payback. The samurai character, to me, is the greatest example of what a modern day samurai would look and act like. The ninja is also adapted for modern day because he is ruthless but sophisticated. The fight scenes are as good as you'll ever see, you'll be watching the train scene over and over. This is such a hidden gem because the main cast just eats up the screen.
Definitely buy it if you've never seen it, no one is streaming it, plus it's good to keep a physical copy of such a rare film.
The movie is a well paced, reasonably smart action/thriller, with good acting, great fight scenes, and a good premise. It's biggest flaw is a plot hole big enough to sail the battleship Yamato through. I refer to the slaughter on the bullet train. If scores of people in a modern, developed, highly industrialized country were systematically butchered by a small cadre of sword-wielding ninja assassins, working their way methodically back from the front of the train, it would make BIG headlines all over the world. This kind of attention is not the sort of thing any organization dedicated to stealth and secrecy would ever want to attract to itself in a million years. Still, apart from this glaring flaw, it was a highly entertaining movie, and well worth a look.

John Lone's ninja isn't very good ( Japanese sucks) but the choreography is very close to "legit" ninjutsu ( though note really well done). Takeda kicks ass and Lambert is, well, Lambert ( if you love him, you love him, if you don't, you don't).
But, since there was no blu-ray release, I decided to get a DVD copy, anyhow.
How weird it felt to go down that road once more.
I was surprised to find out it was progressive and not interlaced.
It nearly fills up the whole screen (1.85:1 with marginal black bars).
The 5.1 AC3 track is in 448kbps and not 384 (the usual kbps for dated productions on DVD).
The scenes with non-English speaking parts have the Engilsh subtitles hardcoded into the video, so that's nice.
While the picture quality can look bland at some times, and heavily DNR'ed, you still have to be impressed with it as an old DVD for its time.
After some time passes, you forget DNR and slip back into a time where it was quite normal. And certainly better than VHS.
The only thing I would have to say against it, besides the DNR, is that I wish it was a dual-layer DVD instead of a single-layer disc.
If more featurettes were added (like videos instead of the printed screens), they might have been inclined to increase the picture quality for the main feature. There might have also been less need for DNR.
I still wait for the day a blu-ray release makes its way out.
The bullet train scene definitely needs the upgrade.
Kodo definitely needs the upgrade.
