On the run

Sometimes it is important to be fast - no pun intended if you combine this with my summary line. Because the main character here does not even know why or what is happening for that matter. So this sort of has a tv movie of the week feel to it .. or whatever you would call it. Imdb has it as a two part episode kind of thing - the streaming service I watched it on, had it as a feature length movie.

No matter how you watch it (though the movie format does fit it), there is enough tension here to keep you interested throughout. So maybe certain things are predictable (to say the least), the acting is at least decent and if you have some love left for thrillers, you probably will like this.

Racy French thriller

Warning: Spoilers
Hunted (or Traqués in France) is a compelling two part TV series set in Marseilles involving the bond that grows between a young boy Leo (Felix Brossuet) suddenly orphaned by the gang land killing of his corporate attorney father Alberto Seria (Fabrice Michel) and Sarah (Jenifer Bartoli), an early 30's former prison inmate trying to re-establish her life, who becomes the unwitting custodian of Leo when his father hides him in her car for safety from the gunman.

The plot mushrooms and unfolds revealing corrupt cops who violated Sarah 10 years ago then framed her with assault charges, contract killings ordered by organized crime seeking the banking coordinates Alberto gives to Leo for safekeeping which turns out to house the gang's corruptly obtained millions. Sarah and Leo are pursued by a corrupt cop hit man and a straight detective Simon Donatelli (Joffrey Platel) who painstakingly unearths the corruption and facilitates the eventual adoption of Leo by Sarah.

Most endearing is the relationship that evolves between Leo and Sarah, beginning with mistrust and indifference to understanding and then maternal love as they rely in each other's wits and charms to survive. Bartoli does well in this intense drama and her role appears to have helped launch her career in French TV shows. 13 year old Brossuet was the veteran star of the three popular Sebastian movies and he is fabulously expressive and emotionally intense in this role. Given the 2 episode constraint, this series comes off very well.
