Tracker (12A)

Action, Adventure, Drama

The critical consensus

An old-fashioned adventure yarn that tramps reassuringly through familiar terrain. At least the destination – not to mention the casting – is more interesting than the journey.

***(*)(*)Matt Glasby, Total Film, 21/04/2011

It’s an interesting insight into an era rarely seen on film and an atmospheric showcase for Winstone and Morrison’s talents – not to mention New Zealand’s spectacular landscape.

***(*)(*)Anna Smith, Empire Online, 26/04/2011

The direction is tame and the plot well-trodden in this old-fashioned adventure yarn that's flung out with an endearing boy-scout optimism against the wide-open spaces of early 20th-century New Zealand.

**(*)(*)(*)Xan Brooks, The Guardian, 28/04/2011

Two dramatic killer twists are the bonus in a movie that puts an intriguing new spin on old colonial misadventures.

****(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 29/04/2011

Making full use of the country's stunning landscape and with a neat twist in the tail, it's a great-looking, relentlessly tense and cleverly constructed thrillercum-character study.
