Willem Dafoe is often cited as one of the best character actors working today, and for good reason. Dafoe’s best work so far includes largely supporting roles, such as the villainous Green Goblin in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, the kindly hotel manager in The Florida Project, the soft-spoken sergeant in Platoon, and the diligent FBI agent in Mississippi Burning.
What Is ‘The Hunter’ About? ✕ Remove Ads Dafoe stars in The Hunter as the veteran mercenary Martin David, who has a contract with the military biotech company known as “Red Leaf” and the enigmatic agent Jack Mindy . David is assigned to go on a top-secret mission to Tasmania, where he is set to kill the last of a rare breed of Tasmanian tigers.
✕ Remove Ads ‘The Hunter’ Flips the Hitman Thriller Genre on Its Head The inclusion of the hitman storyline adds an aura of suspense to The Hunter, as David is constantly under pressure to mask his real identity from Lucy and her family. Dafoe does a great job at showing how challenging it is for David to adjust to a normal life when he has never had to settle down before. His profession is an inherently dark and lonely one, as he knows that none of the work he does will be remembered.
1 Although it’s largely a character-focused drama about the slow escalation of a family unit’s development,The Hunter is bold in its environmental themes, as the crimes committed by Red Leaf bear a striking resemblance to the ways in which many modern corporations have been willing to trample over animal rights out of selfishness.
