THE HUNTED has a SICK multimodal chase sequence through Portland.
Car, foot, bike, train, bridge, river etc.
Amazing how many great chase scenes Friedkin cooked up across the decades. Not just French Connection and To Live and Die and L.A. but JADE too.
Friedkin’s First Blood rules y’all. The Hunted is a film I rarely see discussed or praised, and I had forgotten just how stark, elemental, and razor-edge focused it is as a relentless chase thriller. Pointedly thematic, but always driven by momentum first and foremost
