#43 The Hunter



Don't bother hunting this one down.
Clever, no? No.
Okay fine, anyway...
The Hunter is Steve McQueen's final film. So it has some merit of worth solely to see that, I guess.
Unfortunately the terrible storyline makes that the only reason to watch it. Well, and a pretty decent chase on a subway.
This is much less of a movie than a series of disjointed flashes of work by a bounty hunter. This film is based on the supposed true story of a real bounty hunter. With this I am guessing they just tried to pack in a whole bunch of cool little stories wrapped in a vague reluctant father-to-be character.

The Verdict
2.5 stars
Too much happening that isn't strong enough to stand on it's own, without enough of an overall storyline to keep you interested. I almost gave up watching a number of times.

Awards:
None - agreed, no awards deserved.
