7/10
Original Thriller with a Good Story
24 June 2016
The forest rangers Julie Clayton (Mädchen Amick) and her boyfriend Don Powell (Richard Joseph Paul) find several grizzly-bear slaughtered in the forest. They report to their superior and he comes with the FBI Agent Eric Ashton (Jim Beaver) and his partner and other rangers. They team-up and go to the wilderness by helicopter to seek out the poacher. However, the man kills the rangers and the FBI agent and Julie is seriously wounded. She miraculously survives and learns that her beloved Don was murdered. Julie is deeply affected but when she meets the alcoholic police detective Nick Rollins (Graham Greene), he motivates her to live with hate planning revenge. Meanwhile the FBI decides to use Julie as bait to catch the poacher Hanaghan (Adrian Pasdar). But Hanaghan has developed a weird attraction for Julie.

"Wounded" is an original thriller with a good story. Developed in slow pace, this film builds the tension between Julie and Hanaghan step by step. The climax is only in the very end, but the characters in the beginning are poorly developed. Mädchen Amick has goof performance. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Fúria Animal" ("Animal Fury")
