A well used trail

Tracker (2010)

This British-New Zealand collaboration stars Ray Winstone and is directed by Ian Sharp. In 1903 a Boer veteran of the recent conflict looks to start a new life in New Zealand and tries to get some money by tracking down a Maori accused of murder.

As with all films shot in New Zealand the scenery in this film is stunning and is probably the best attribute the film has to offer by a long margin. The plot is not especially original, the usual elements in a slightly different setting and the script is not particularly strong. When it comes to the acting some of it is ropey to say the least, Ray Winstone's attempts at an Afrikaner are patchy at times but not the worst thing in the film.

3/5
