The Hunted was a film directed by William Friedkin about a Covert Operative who can't stop killing and must be stopped by his former teacher. The movie finished primary filming in the first half of 2001, however the events of 9/11 delayed the release of many 'military' or 'terrorism' themed motion pictures until the public sentiment was deemed ready. The film was scheduled for release in 2002 but it's release date was pushed out to March 2003.
The following weapons can be seen in the film The Hunted:
Hewitt (Mark Pellegrino) uses his Heckler & Koch USP Pistol (9x19mm) when transporting Aaron Hallam (Benicio Del Toro), however he loses the pistol when Hallam forces a van crash.
Special Agent in Charge Harry Van Zandt (Ron Canada) carries what appears to be a SIG-Sauer GSR. Though not sure when the GSR came out. It may be just another custom M1911. MPM

Serbian soldiers use AKMSU short assault rifles to massacre Albanian villagers during the Kosovo Battle. They should be using Crvena Zastava M92s which is the Yugo AKMSU, however, these appear to be armorer build ups using Krinkov parts. The movie weapons would be identical to AK74U Krinkovs if it weren't for the 7.62x39mm magazines.
