The Hunter
Dir: Daniel Nettheim
2012
****
Daniel Nettheim's The Hunter is eerie, disconnected and quite bleak at times The Hunter is also quite moving and tender. Willem Dafoe was the perfect choice of actor to play the part of the Hunter, no doubt about it. His subtleties, his rugged edge and likable manner make for quite an interesting character. The story is original and interesting, it's also very believable. The contrast between heartwarming and heartbreaking is handled very well too, the performances are strong but most importantly it looks stunning. None of the usual rubbish here!
