Perhaps I wasn't in the right mood but I just couldn't enjoy this film no matter how hard I tried. I felt this movie had all the artistic merit of a NZ tourism commercial. When I read about the cast and story I was ready to get down to business because if Ray Winstone is in a film I'm ready to at least give it the time of day. By about the half hour mark I was beginning to question Ray's involvement. Temuera Morrison is an actor who can display rather marvelous psychotic abilities, but his acting range is rather limited beyond that, and that was a big let down for me. I found him more and more annoying as the film progressed.
Overall I just couldn't get into The Tracker, it's greatest crime in my opinion is that it is a very ordinary film. If it was indeed cut down to a 40 second NZ tourism commercial, it may very well have been a success.
