The Hunter

Veteran bounty hunter Ralph "Papa" Thorson (Steve McQueen, in his final film role) goes on a series of downright dangerous searches to bring in the bad guys in this action film (with some comedy sprinkled in) based on the real-life bounty hunter Thorson. With each life-threatening incident in the line of duty, Thorson questions his chosen profession and his longevity in it. Kathryn Harrold plays Thorson's pregnant girlfriend, Dotty.

Dove Review

Steve McQueen plays “Papa” Thorson, a modern day bounty hunter who always runs into some action when he tries to get his man. He balances his dangerous life with a very-pregnant girlfriend who is tentative about marriage due to her failed first marriage. Thorson finds himself as both pursuer and the pursued in this explosive, action-packed movie, the last film Steve McQueen made before passing away. Unfortunately, there are some violent scenes in the film, along with strong language as well as a few scenes of sex outside of marriage so we are unable to award this movie our Dove Seal as a family-friendly picture.
