|---|
THE HUNTED is a movie directed by J.F. Lawton in 1995.
Paul Racine accidentally witnesses the murder of a prostitute in the hotel he's staying in for business. Severely injured and left for dead, Racine is brought into a local hospital where he learns that the woman has been executed by ninjas belonging to a secret cult whose leader is Kinjo.
As Racine has seen the face of the cult leader, his life is still in great danger. He will then be helped by a master in traditional martial arts whose family has been exterminated by the same ninja cult two centuries before. After having been attacked in the train by a bunch of ninjas, Racine and his friends finally arrive at a small island where they will have a little time to prepare the final confrontation.
