The Tracker (2002) | Ratings & Reviews

"The film's bleakly inevitable ending packs a wallop and its hauntingly desolate images linger long after the story is told."

—

TV Guide

"A stark moral fable told in the language of the sort of western that Hollywood has stopped making, this Australian film could be viewed as a companion piece to Rabbit-Proof Fence."

—

The New York Times

"The Tracker is one of those rare films that deserves to be called haunting."

—

Roger Ebert

"A high-minded film that at times verges on didacticism, The Tracker is redeemed by its adherence to a simple yet distinctive approach to storytelling and its uniformly strong acting."
