Robert Jordan Hunt is a Freelance Feature Writer for Collider. He is a native Texan who likes movies. Watching them, talking about them, those kinds of things. It's been said he also has a wife, step-son and dog, but nothing confirmed. He has a column at Hyperrealfilm.

From the iconic car chases in The French Connection and To Live and Die in L.A., to the almost unbearably tense Sorcerer, featuring Roy Scheider transporting nitroglycerin across the Latin American jungle . Friedkin got his start making documentaries, which would help hone the filmmaker's naturalistic style in his later films.
The Hunted RActionCrimeDocumentaryDramaThriller An FBI deep-woods tracker attempts to capture a trained assassin who has made a sport of hunting humans. The film opens with Benicio Del Toro's character, Aaron, with his Delta Force team on a covert operation to assassinate a high-profile target during the Kosovo War. Friedkin follows Aaron as he sneaks through chaos to his intended target. The director uses this sequence to showcase just how good this guy is at moving without being seen.

Efficient and Simple Storytelling Lets the Action Soar Close All of this happens within the first ten minutes of the movie, and both the lead characters have already been quickly and adequately established, perfectly showcasing the director's "get to the point" mentality.
