The Hunter Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A movie with more plot than it can comfortably handle.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
With a rucksack of gadgets, Dafoe makes a believably cunning tracker, and when he finally confronts his prey, the mutual respect feeds a poignant parable.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Not much happens in "The Hunter." And what little does happen, happens very slowly. And then is repeated.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The character arc is strong on paper but not well-realized on film, and therein lies The Hunter's greatest failing.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"The Hunter" is engrossing and thoughtful entertainment. It's a mystery with a message.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Dafoe proves to have the right blend of ruggedness and sensitivity for this conflicted hero.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The film is really Dafoe's show, and he reminds once again why he is such a tremendous actor and also one so easy to underestimate and take for granted.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
If that synopsis sounds a tad predictable, the outcome of the film is anything but, and The Hunter, with its spectacular cinematography by Robert Humphreys, parallels Dafoe's character and that of his prey, both human and otherwise.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
While the film threatens to fall into clich, excellent cinematography and another mesmerizing performance by Willem Dafoe keep it engaging enough to the point that it develops a fascinating rhythm of its own.
DVDTalk.com
Jason Bailey
It's a character study, for the most part, allowing the complications and relationships to puncture the narrative only when they have finally penetrated the man.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Its mostly observant temper keeps us from being greatly moved, but it holds us with its acute, almost laboratory dissection of its people's beings.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
"The Hunter" loses its way.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
The Hunter is too many films in one...
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"The Hunter" never declares who is good or bad or right or wrong. And the implications of Martin's decision when the moment of truth finally arrives are left for the viewer to unravel.
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
The film refuses to focus on its core story, hedging its bets with forays into family drama, environmental thriller, and corporate intrigue.
ScreenCrush
Jordan Hoffman
'The Hunter' is a melancholy yarn, no doubt about it, but one of hope for creatures who are left alone in the world.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
"The Hunter" doesn't particularly test him, but Dafoe, who's in every scene of the film, easily dominates it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ryan Lattanzio
A thriller brooding with disquiet and dread.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Dafoe invests every action with a sense of purpose (not, thankfully, the same thing as meaning), to the extent that viewers would likely turn up to watch him peel potatoes, Jeanne Dielman-style.
Film School Rejects
Jack Giroux
The Hunter is a film of surprising scope and intimacy.
