6.8 / 10

The independent and lonely hunter Martin David is hired by the powerful biotech company Red Leaf to hunt down the last Tasmanian tiger. Red Leaf is interested in the DNA of the animal and Martin travels to Tasmania alone. He poses as a researcher from a university and lodges in the house of Lucy Armstrong. Martin learns that Lucy's husband has been missing for a long time and he befriends her children, Sass and Bike. When Martin goes to the village, he has a hostile reception from the locals. Along the days, Martin spends his days in the Tasmanian wilderness chasing the Tiger and becomes closer and closer to the Armstrong family. But Red Leaf wants results no matter the costs.

Actually, and thankfully, there have been sightings over the last few years by people living in rural areas of Australia, that are exact descriptions of the T.T., and the govt is taking notice and doing what it can to investigate and protect what may possibly well be the Tazmanian Tiger surviving in deeply remote areas, with a growing population of the species. - @Sunday, November 29, 2015 4:09 PM

Very nice movie, Dafoe is delivering a great performance. Only the downer ending wasn't necessary in this kind of film but well, still a good movie! And there was a Wombat! A fricking WOMBAT!!!! <3 - @Monday, May 11, 2015 3:45 AM

Watching this movie made me realize what bastards we humans are. In some cases we're the scum of the Earth. This was a depressing, yet beautiful film. - @Sunday, March 15, 2015 12:53 PM

SPOILERS************************** Damn, just saw the movie. What an epic Australian thriller! Haven't seen a movie with little/ no CGI in ages. Emotional and a good storyline. But, there are a couple of things i didn't understand. Was the mercenary that was sent to kill him and discover the Tasmanian Tiger's locations came from the opposing Biotech Corp? Or did Martin's company sent him to replace him as he was causing too much trouble?? - @Friday, December 5, 2014 1:33 PM

Spoiler : Just realised that the guy who takes the main character prisoner while hunting and get caught in one of his trap isn't just another Red Leaf "agent" but is also the guy we see at the very begining of the film when Martin is proposed to work with. - @Wednesday, April 16, 2014 11:54 AM

Bazooka KaKa

Some of u guys ask why he killed the tiger? My theory. He killed the tiger because the tiger wanted to be killed. Its actually kind of obvious becuz at the end the tiger shows himself to him. Then the tiger walks out in plain sight waiting for his death. The tiger knew it was time for him to go. - @Monday, February 24, 2014 9:17 AM

Further to my previous reply, Martin sees parallels between his own lonely solitary life and that of the Tiger and realises that he cannot go on living that way and thus decides to leave his job and "see the sights".. - @Wednesday, July 24, 2013 4:21 AM

schumifan78

If you watch the scene closely you will see that the Tiger looks back at Martin, then lowers its head in resignation, it wants to be shot as it it the last of its kind and it is tired and lonely. I believe the film makers are conveying the tragedy of the extinction of the Thylacine and it is an amazing piece of film making. - @Wednesday, July 24, 2013 4:01 AM

I'm sure that Lucy and Katie were killed by the Red Leaf agent that was sent to kill Martin, he got Martins coordinates from the house then burnt the house to destroy all evidence of Red Leafs involvement. - @Wednesday, July 24, 2013 3:58 AM

Yes I think I now "accept" more the death of the Tiger, so Red Leaf didn't get what they wanted (samples of the Tiger). I think I can answer that one mate, Lucy and Katie Armstrong were without question murdered by the local loggers (the excuse for the fire was the fact that the house had many candles...). - @Thursday, June 13, 2013 5:28 PM

Ricardo Silva

*SPOILER ALERT* Just watched the movie and enjoyed a lot. Still, I am annoyed by the fact that he lows his gun... He looks the Tiger in the eyes... And then he quickly fires and kills him. I believe he should just have let the Tiger free in his nature. Why did he kill the Tiger? - @Tuesday, June 11, 2013 3:55 AM

SPOILER ALERT: Ive seen it twice this weekend! Insanely good movie! However there are a few things I havnt understood yet. Who shot Jarrah? Was it Jack (it couldnt have been Jack? Could it?!), or the logger that got whopped in the bar? Or was it that douch that probably tourched the home? - @Sunday, April 14, 2013 8:26 PM
