Watch The Hunter For Free

Why so much hype?

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A Masterpiece!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Joshlore 1 you stole my thunder !!! That said, I admit that i could not have written as sucinctly and with beautiful passion the way you have done here !! A goof here or there is irrelevant , no nit pickers required . You have covered every inch of the narrative with all the appreciation this stunning movie so richly deserves. And I can only add to your words with full agreement that this movie is deserving of far more accolades and true appreciation. Faultlessly presented and unequivocally recommended . Michael....

I've been waiting for a long time a opportunity to see this movie,firstly on DVD and next an expensive Blu-ray,neither came along...now on Netflix finally l saw so waited picture...and how good it was...a quiet movie, letting the Tasmanian landscape speak for itself.....Willem Dafoe in unusual leading role play the Hunter who has a hard mission to track down a legend of the Tasmanian Tiger ( that no longer exist, already state as extinct race ) but which the real proposition of the movies anyway??? let's dream...so he finally find a Tiger (that is actually is a wolf relative) and has a unexpected redemption at last...even l don't agree with so sad conclusion the movie is really great!!! Resume:First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: Netflix / Rating: 8.5

I didn't know much about the film, but the very fact that it deals with the "Tasmanian tiger" was enough reason to watch it. As a child I had a book about Australian wildlife and one chapter dealt with the thylacine - I prefer that name because it looks so little like a tiger to me. It was so sad to read that the warden in the zoo in Hobart realized that with the death of the last thylacine a whole species had died. It is easy to understand why it such a popular animal: on the one hand it looks like a dog, but on the other hand it is so completely different - just like some kind of extraterrestrial pet. I hope to the efforts of the last years to recreate it through its DNA will be successful but I am rather pessimistic.But now back to the film! I have to admit that I was not 100 % enthusiastic about it. Although it has a mystic atmosphere, the pace of the action is very slow. Apart from the last half hour very little happens. Although William Dafoe's acting was not bad, I had difficulty to identify with the main characters. For me the two real stars of the film were the Tasmanian landscape – and the thylacine itself. I was so completely convinced that it would remain a phantom until the end, that it was a shock for me to see it alive at the entrance of the cave, so small and vulnerable. And after less than a minute the hunter shoots it and burns it, so that even the hope to save its DNA is gone. A sad ending to a sad film.

I gave it a 5 for scenery and Defoe's performance. But the plot is muddled and the ending not really pleasing. Also, the picture of the rat faced "tiger" in the movie doesn't even seem to be accurate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine The one shown above doesn't look anything like the movie's depiction. But the scenery which actually shows many parts of Tasmania as a truly wonderful looking place. Too bad they didn't have better screenwriters and better publicists. Who ever heard of it? It went almost directly to video, obviously but with Defoe and Neill it should have surfaced. But as it was it just wasn't cohesive enough to entertain a large scale audience.
