Summary: Steve Mcqueen,we miss you!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Early '80's he was up there with Clint Eastwood,Charles Bronson,Burt Reynolds,this is his last film. The story plot I rate '2 stars',but Steve will always be the James Dean that never was,the British news papers said he'll always be a role model and incon for 'cool'. Live on Steve,live on!

Summary: Fitting movie to end a career
Review: McQueen is fantastic as Papa Thorson - a bounty hunter devoted to his family, friends and work. This is Steve McQueen's last film before he died, and rates as one of his best in my opinion, along with The Sand Pebbles, Papillon and The Great Escape. The Chicago chase scene is awesome, and McQueen's acting as the unlikely hunter is very believable. They don't make action flicks like this anymore, with the lead as a real person, not just a macho gun toting hero. Recommended.

Summary: PU
Review: Most reviewers blasted this film when it came out and for once the critics were right. It's so terrible it has a kind of fascination to it as you watch this assortment of fine actors trying to bring some life to a script of pure claptrap. Perhaps McQueen's judgment was clouded by the onset of his mortal illness when he ok'd it. He couldn't have been feeling very well and his discomfort is palpable. Allegedly and laughably based on the life of bounty-hunter Ralph Thorson, it's an idiotic mix of domestic whinery and crook-catching that should have been played for straight comedy. Then we'd have had a happier finale from this great actor.

Summary: A memorable last role
Review: Steve McQueen plays his last role in this film. It is very memorable performance one that we all love. However i really can't say the same for the story and the film. BUt its worth it just to be entertained by mcqueen.

Summary: Not the best ending for McQueen's career.
Review: 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.

Summary: Great McQueen, so-so movie
Review: Steve McQueen was desperately ill with lung cancer at the time that "The Hunter" was released, but he looks like his old self throughout this rather mediocre action film. McQueen, however, is excellent in his final role, and his performance makes this otherwise so-so film worth seeing.
