I'd like Willem's face when I'm older. And a pet Tasmanian Tiger that isn't crap CGI. Cheers.

Tonally the Hunter feels like another Winter's Bone. Lacking in good cheer, hugely depressing and substituting one dead man for another. Like Winter's Bone the film relies heavily on a strong central performance; Willem Dafoe instead of Jennifer Lawrence, and beautifully shot scenery. Like Winter's Bone I found it tough to love, hard to get into but rewarding as the character's grow. The supporting cast are good. Frances O'Connor was moving, Sam Neill very solid and young Morgana Davies a real surprise. Some of the emotion felt a little forced though, mainly the endless scenes of Willem Dafoe traipsing around Tasmania setting snares. Not really suitable for people with no patience.

Willem Dafoe plays Billy Dafriend; a professional big game lolecat hunter and pee drinker. That giant backpack he's wearing? Full of bottles of pee.

I didn't know what to expect when I started to watch The Hunter other than a little bit of Man vs Wild, but I've come away extremely satisfied with what I watched. Like others have said, the film really excels when Willem Dafoe is up in the mountains alone but the other, softer sides of the film really drive home the raw emotions given away at the end.

Cinematography was amazing, with the wide open shots of the Tasmanian wilderness really complementing Dafoe's loner character well.

I would really recommend this.

Nem igazán hagyott bennem mély nyomot, pedig arra emlékszem, hogy jó film volt. Annyi rémlik, hogy a főszereplő egy cég megbízásából próbálja megtalálni az utolsó tasmán tigrist (ami egy létező, mára már kihalt faj). A film nem pörgős, a lassú történetvezetés jellemző rá, illetve az erős jellemábrázolás, és -fejlődés.
Természetesen a főszereplőnek nincs könnyű dolga, próbálnak borsot törni az orra alatt és nehezíteni a dolgát.

A műfaj kedvelőinek érdemes megnézni.

this was just a great story, I was gripped from start to finish. I wasn't convinced by Dafoe's performance but the story unravelled perfectly, sinister and beautiful in equal measures, I was convinced by the story. stunning cinematography and strong performances all around Dafoe yet something just nagged me about his seemingly impartial presence, maybe I'm being harsh but I feel the main character could have been cast better. understated but powerful film-making

It looked pretty, and Willem Dafoe did a fine job. Everyone did a fine job. Fine jobs, everyone! Hearing almost everyone in the movie speak in my favourite type of accent helped. It also got surprisingly heavy right at the end. If I had to complain, I'd say the story really wasn't that strong, but for some reason it hardly mattered.

A clumsy but well-acted film.

The story of a man hunting the rare (and possibly extinct) Tasmanianans Tiger is more a study of human nature, and as such tends to be mind numbingly boring. The acting is good, and the scenery is spectacular, but what it all means is anyones guess.

Could have been great. Got lost trying to do too many things.

An excellent Dafoe and gorgeous Tasmania...with a better plot this could've been so much more.
