About this product

Product Information

A mercenary employed by a highly secretive biotech-research company sets out into the wilds of Tasmania in search of the elusive Tasmanian tiger -- an animal assumed to be extinct by scientists, yet rumoured to have been spotted in the area in recent years. Adapted from the novel by author Julia Leigh, THE HUNTER follows Martin (Willem Dafoe) as he ventures out on his mission and arrives at the home of Lucy Armstrong (Frances O'Connor), who has been heavily depressed since her husband vanished into the surrounding wilderness months ago, and who now lives alone with her young daughter Sass (Morgana Davies) and taciturn son Bike (Finn Woodlock) - who have volunteered to host him in their home during the course of his research excursion. Shortly after arriving in Tasmania, Martin is accompanied to the edge of the wilds by Jack Mindy (Sam Neill), an old friend of Lucy's who has kept watch over her family and balks at the newcomer's decision to navigate the rough terrain unaccompanied. In the wake of a clash with hostile local loggers, Martin gradually begins to learn more about Lucy's family and develops a tenuous friendship with her two young children. But later, just as Martin begins to feel as if his goal is finally within reach, an unexpected development sends his mission into a tailspin and causes him to question the motivations behind capturing such a strange and majestic creature.

ReviewsThe New York Times - THE HUNTER never declares who is good or bad or right or wrong. And the implications of Martin's decision when the moment of truth finally arrives are left for the viewer to unravel., St. Louis Post-Dispatch - To keep serious cinema from going extinct, this could be sold as "THE HUNGER GAMES" cross-bred with "THE LORAX," but it's better and more mature than either of those hit movies.

  • A very sensitive and well made film .The cover of the dvd misrepresents it

    Dafoe is brilliant and the rest of the cast very good,in particular the two children. The bonus is the excellent location filming in Tasmania.

  • Gripping!

    Great film especially when watched with headphones! Even in the silence, with Willem's intense look, its thouroghly gripping. Thought this DVD was new but was second hand. Still good!
