Collegian Site
Christopher Lambert is back in
another action-suspense movie,
"The Hunted."
Lambert plays Racine, a
western businessman in Nagoya,
Japan, who encounters Kirina
(Joan Chen) at the local bar.
Kirina and Racine enjoy a night
of extreme pleasure that climaxes
when Racine accidentally takes
Kirina's hotel keys and attempts
to return them. What he finds in
Kirina's room is Kinjo (John
Lone) and his legion of ninjas.
Because Racine has seen
Kinjo's face and survived an
attack by the ninjas, his life is in
even greater risk. As a result,
Takeda (Yoshio Harada), a
modern-day samurai and Kinjo's
mortal enemy, and his wife
Mieko (Yoko Shimada) offer
Racine their assistance, which he
readily accepts after another
assassination attempt. The
samurai believes that they will be
safer on a secluded island where
he trains his pupils. However,
the obstacle lies in getting there
alive via a "bullet train" that has

MIMI
ALL MY CHILDREN:
Anton was upset to learn Kendall
wasn't welcome at Edmund's
funeral. Although Hayley
forgave Adam, she clashed with
him over Gloria's legal aid.
Kendall reluctantly agreed to help
Corvina take the leopard. A
befuddled Edmund turned up at
his funeral in the Wildwind
chapel. Gloria responded to a
puppy from Stuart. Kendall
showed Corvina what's left of
Anton's legacy. Wait to see:
Gloria faces attempted murder
charges.
ANOTHER WORLD:
Rachel told Carl that "after
tonight" Grant wilt be powerless.
Later, Ryan found a critically
injured Grant just as the house
caught fire, and raced to save Alli
and "Kirk." A wall fell on Evan
before anyone could get to him.
Jake and Paulina disarmed
Eberhardt and turned her over to
the police. Later, Svenson stole
Jake's jewelry and money and
forced him to drive to a desolate
area. Determined not to die in
vain, Jake drove the car off the
road. As Paulina learned that
Jake was burned beyond
recognition in the crash, Jake was
actually opening his eyes at the
side of the road. Joe confirmed
a dozen or so ninjas on it
"The Hunted" has several
positive points to it, besides the
actors. For instance, the battle
scene on the train is the bloodiest
and most believable battle I have
seen in years. Also, the pulse of
movie is set extraordinarily well
by the exotic and fast-paced
musical score that consists
mainly of drums. In addition, the
costumes, dramatic overhead
views of the city, the train and
the secluded island are also
breathtaking.
"The Hunted" is a very sensual
and exotic movie. Its battles are
more tangible than any other I've
seen - only one gun shot is heard
in this movie. All the
decapitations and deaths are
caused by ancient techniques and
weapons.
Even though Chris Lambert
and Joan Chen are listed as the
top-billings of "The Hunted," the
true stars are Yoshio Harada,
Yoko Shimada and John Lone.
But don't worry, Lambert will be
back (again) in a few months as
Raydon, God of Speed and
Lightning in "Mortal Kombat."
