After seeing The Hunted (a while ago), I realized that I"m happy movies aren't often made in my area. Its always neat when you know that a movie was made near you but if the areas are recognizable, it ****s it up for you. For those of you who don't know, The Hunted is filmed in Portland, Oregon. Its weird because Tommy Lee will be chasing Deltoro near the Portland opera house and next thing you know they are down by the Waterfront in Portland and trust me, they are not within walking distance of each other. I just found it annoying. Have any of you experienced something like this?

The police station or whatever it was, was indeed Liberty Mutual!
