The Hunter (1980)

Rate: 4
Viewed: 11/06

11/06: Looking like death, The Hunter is the final film of Steve McQueen's career before dying of cancer at the age of 50.

The majority of the time is spent on Papa Thorson chasing bad guys. It's boring. On the other hand, the character buildup and the feel of the story have worked out well. Then, the film seems unsure when it comes to the finish.

I have no qualms with Steve McQueen's acting and the way he handled his role because that's exactly how I expect him to perform. It's just too bad that he had to go out this way.

All in all, Steve McQueen's final career performance makes The Hunter worth watching.
