The Hunter bears all the marks of a tailor-made "star vehicle," one of those awful movies catering to a star's ego and image.

….Steve McQueen’s persona seemed well out of date in a world of snazzy training-shoes and Hooters diners, so urban thriller The Hunter feels like a stretch for a fast-fading talent, but there’s still some iconic moments for hardcore fans of the star.

No point in chasing this one down.

There's a messy accumulation of scenes, effects, and resources that seem like an overview of Steve McQueen's previous films. [Full Review in Spanish]
