Tracker is a film that any fan of historical movies ought to see. The locations are beautiful, the acting superb, the dialogue at times witty, at times moving. The atmosphere is built perfectly in the opening scenes and it carries through for the majority of the film. Winstone is brilliant but Tam is the guy you're going to remember from this film. Once the action begins it rarely lets up.
What I perhaps enjoyed most was the setting; this isn't a movie relying on a popular character to see it through, this is a film that explores a seldom examined period without forgetting that it's a movie.

Yesterday evening I went with friends to see Ray Winstone in the film 'Tracker' at the Showcase Cinema in Dudley, West Midlands.
An excellent plot, fine acting and spectacular scenery. Ray Winstone is a versatile cockney born actor but his performance as a South African boer who finds himself in New Zealand is superb in the film. As was the performance of the supporting cast. A spectacular and beautifully crafted film with fine photography; I look forward to buying a copy of the DVD when it comes out and seeing how the visual experience translates to the television screen.
It is a film that deserves to be seen.

Tracker was a welcome surprise for me. I saw it at a recent screening event in London and it was not dissapointed. Ray Winstone steps outside his normal cockney geezer role to play a Boer War veteran and carries it off effectively. He even masters a solid South African accent!
Tem Morrisson provides excellent support and the duo's running battles across the breathtaking New Zealand scenery give the film a real sense of scale and style.
Definitely one to try.

A solid enough film but in no way a 5 stars.
Not a bad film - but far from the 5 star film people have made out here. It's a fairly run of the mill affair, with the ending being the only thing about it that's unique or a bit... Read more
