"The Hunter" is a film about a man who is contracted by a biotech corporation to go to Tasmania, and hunt down the last of the Tasmanian tigers. While there, he befriends a woman who has lost her husband, and is left with her two young children. He tries to help the family, while fighting off out-of-work locals with a dislike of Americans. This movie showcases Willem Dafoe brilliantly, and it gives him the freedom he needs to display his incredible talents, and he brings his character to life with believable shades of humanity. The story is even and wonderfully crafted, the directing is patient, and the cinematography captures the Australian landscape perfectly. If you can get your hands on this movie, I would absolutely suggest it.
