THE HUNTER [2011]

The Hunter is a deeply saddening mystery thriller from Australian director Daniel Nettheim, adapted from the novel of the same name by Julia Leigh.
It stars Willem Dafoe, in a wonderfully subdued performance, as a mercenary sent to Tasmania to hunt down the sole surviving Tasmanian Tiger for a biotech company interested in it's DNA.  It slowly burns it's way into your heart with feelings both distant and warm, beautiful photography of the same description and enough moral questions to keep you thinking.
