Tough, brutal and heart-stoppingly intense, this adrenaline-fuelled thriller, featuring a bristling performance by Willem Dafoe, is a gritty, powerful and nail-biting slice of tough, action-packed cinema. Hearing reports of a sighting of the last Tasmanian tiger in existence, ex-mercenary Martin (Willem Dafoe) is sent to hunt it down by a biotech company who believes it carries a unique and valuable chemical. Posing as an environmental scientist he begins his pursuit of the creature, only to encounter a nearby community riven with conflict and simmering tensions.

I am so glad I watched this before reading any reviews as it would've been completely ruined!! It does seem strange that they are so certain there was only 1 of these animals left out of the entire species. Since they couldn't be sure, the ending doesn't work. The hunt would still continue with another person searching. The actors were good, the script was good but the small amount of CGI they needed wasn't really that great. If/when this is sold cheaper I would definitely buy it.

It makes you think about people who are chasing something...and the victims on this way. The silent scenes create a great atmosphere to meditate on your own cruelty and how does it change things in life. If you swap the really beautiful symbols with daily things, it could result a heavy, heartbreaking consequence. One of my favorite movies from now and suggest for everybody.

The plot was fairly interesting but I didn't feel like they made particularly good use of it. Presumably trying to increase suspense, far too many things were kept a mystery and just out of sight of the viewer. For me, it just lacked a bit of interest and excitement.
