Movie Reviews of The Hunter
Movie Review: Not the best ending for McQueen's career.
Summary: 2 Stars
Steve McQueen plays Papa Thorson a man who lives in the past with the motto "New things are no Good." Papa's a bounty hunter who relies on a law from the late1800's that allows anyone to capture those who jump bail (by almost any means necessary).Most of the movie shows Papa tracking down and capturing criminals. There are some wacky chase scenes -- one involving a Trans Am and a Harvester in a corn field - but most the action is mundane especially compared to McQueen's other films.
The movie would have benefited greatly with better effects (explosions, etc), some one liners and stronger characterization. The ending is somewhat sentimental and cheesy. The film is based on a true story - which probably could have used some embellishment. McQueen gives a pretty good performance and it's fun to see Levar Burton in one of his earlier roles. Recommended for hard-core McQueen fans only.
Movie Review: DVD purchase
Summary: 1 Stars
I am stationed in Iraq and recently purchased The Hunter(Steve McQueen) through Amazon and when I received it and went to play it, the disk started skipping. I guess this gives me the opportunity to ask what I can do, if anything to return the DVD and get it replaced. My DVD player is new and I have since watched a couple of other new DVDs in it with no problem. I have made other purchases through Amazon, but this was a really disappointing experience.Movie Review: not how he would want us to remember him
Summary: 1 Stars
the hunter is steve mcqueen's last movie,and a very sad fairwell to "the king of cool"
mcqueen plays real life bounty hunter ralph "papa" thorson and it becomes very clear that mcqueen is not feeling good as he was making this watered down action movie rthat doesn't know wher it wants to go or even really have a story to hang on to. all we get are little set picese of action strung together with little style. stick to the sand pebbles or bulitt.
Movie Review: a sad goodbye to the "king of cool"
Summary: 1 Stars
this was steve mcqueen's last film and that is sad as this is not even able to be called an action movie or a comedy. this mess is "based on the true story" of bounty hunter ralph "papa" thorson and it just never gels into and kind of film at all. not the way to say goodbye to the great steve mcqueen, get bulliet or the sand pebbles instead
