Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Leofwine_draca Dirk Bogarde excels in this contemporary thriller from 1952, directed by Charles Crichton. The story is a simple story of two characters who are on the run from both the authorities and the world, but what impresses here is the depth of characterisation and the multi-layered perspective of a cruel world. Despite the fact that he's introduced in the act of murder, Bogarde delivers an intensely sympathetic and gruff performance that's the best I've seen from him. Matching him is an excellent Jon Whiteley as the put-upon Scottish lad who comes along for the journey. Whiteley was a natural for these parts and would play almost exactly the same role in THE WEAPON. Watch HUNTED for the gritty realism, the non-sentimentality of the premise, and the excellent performances.

Maddyclassicfilms Hunted is directed by Charles Crichton, has a screenplay by Jack Whittington and stars Dirk Bogarde, Jon Whiteley, Elizabeth Sellers and Geoffrey Keen.Chris Lloyd (Dirk Bogarde) discovers his wife (Elizabeth Sellers) is having an affair and he confronts the other man about it on a derelict building site and kills him. Unbeknown to him a small boy called Robbie (Jon Whiteley)is hiding there and witnesses the crime. Lloyd takes him and the pair go on the run. They are pursued by a Police Inspector (Geoffrey Keen). At first Lloyd is very quick tempered and is annoyed with Robbie but as they spend more time together the pair come to care for one another. Robbie comes from an abusive foster home and doesn't want to go back there.Bogarde is superb as the quick tempered and desperate man who despite his crime is not a monster. He goes through a real character change. As the film progresses he really begins to care for the boy and he's really gentle with him. The scene where Robbie asks him to tell him a story is very moving, especially when we realise Lloyd's telling the boy about what happened between him and his wife.Whiteley is excellent considering how young he is. He does a good job of conveying his fear of being touched (due to his abusive home life)and how he just wants some kindness in his life. You really feel sorry for him especially when Robbie and Lloyd become so attached because you know in reality this film can't have a happy ending.What this film does so well is make you feel the desperation, the fear and the difficulty of being on the run. Heavily populated places aren't safe because Lloyd could be recognised, every time he shows his face to try and get food or somewhere to stay for the night is a risk. As the film goes on Lloyd and Robbie become like two animals running from a pack of hunters. We want them both to escape and be happy with one another, yet we know that Lloyd's crime must be punished and that the film can only end in tears. Lloyd's decision on the boat for the sake of Robbie is enough to make anyone shed a tear.An excellent and poignant thriller that's a must see for Bogarde fans. Tiger Bay (1959)is another film very similar to this and is highly recommended if you enjoyed Hunted.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** The most unusual thing about this movie is that the person who's really the center of attraction and the reason all that happens in it someone called Mr.Wills isn't even in the films credits and isn't even, as far as I can see, played by a living person or actor but by a store front mannequin. It's in this bombed out building, during the London Blitz, that we see sailor Chris Lloyd, Dirk Bogarde, together with this six year old runaway little Robbie Campball, Jon Whiteley,just shooting the breeze where in the foreground we see this stiff, Mr. Willis, laying on the ground in the early stages of rigor mortis. How he, Willis, got there and what caused his condition, being dead, were never really told only that Lloyd's wife Megda, Elizabeth Sellars, worked for Willis who was getting a little too friendly with her.With all that behind us were then shown that Robbie is on the run from his foster parents because in him playing with matches he almost set the house on fire and is afraid that his step-dad Mr. Campbell, Jack Stewart, will beat the living hell out of him when he finds out about it. From then on both Lloyd & Robbie are on the run from the police as well as Mr. Campbell until they reach this seaside town in Scotland and plan to sea-jack a boat and check or sail out to safety in Ireland. It's while on the lamb that Lloyd becomes very attached to Robbie in that he feels that he's in far more trouble then he is. Not having a home to go home to and parents to love him Lloyd who had first had little use for Robbie starts to show real affection towards the little boy.***SPOILERS*** The love and affection that Lloyd shows for Robbie really hits home when on their way to Ireland Robbie falls deathly ill because of the raw and possibly rotten eggs that Lloyd has been giving him to eat and decides to turn the boat around back to Scotland and eventually face justice in the murder of Wills for reasons were never really given by the films screenwriters. What I couldn't quite understand is why Wills, who seemed to be well off financially, was in that bombed out building in the first place? That unless if Lloyd did murder him had dragged his body there to keep the police from finding it.

Neil-117 Britain just after the second world war must have been a grim place indeed. Still looking like a bomb site, with poor living standards, inadequate social services, stifling conformity and tough policing. Amid this bleak social landscape, Bogarde is a hopeless, alienated character fleeing from the police after a crime of momentary passion. He is joined by a scared and emotionally scarred small boy also on the run from a harsh reality. Their journey together is gruelling yet at the same time strangely aimless, as they focus on escaping the past with little idea of their future. Like all good road movies, the journey changes the characters, as they are affected, enriched and ultimately redeemed by their own striving and by their personal interaction. Any more detail would spoil this story but you can be guaranteed of a fine reward at the end if you can stick with the grinding progress of this particular odyssey.Filmed in suitably bleak black and white, there's a slightly too earnest quality about the way this movie strives to put everything in the worst possible perspective – but that's when looked at from the comfortable perspective of half a century later when life is a lot softer for many of us. Go the distance with this one and you'll be a better person for it.
