(2010) Tracker
THRILLER ADVENTURE/ HISTORY
Set during the early 1900's, a farmer from South Africa who also happens to be an experienced 'tracker,'hence the title, Van Dieman (Ray Winston) decides to move and set up shop at New Zealand after losing his family during the Boer war. Meanwhile, a Maori aboriginal, Keremara (Temuera Morrison) becomes falsely accused of killing one of the officers in a barn while making out with a prostitute, forcing him to go on the run. Without proper shoe ware, he eventually gets himself captured but not from the posse orchestrated from the leading officer but from Van Dieman. And it was at this point viewers find out that both men have more in common than they think.
Upon watching this appears to be a movie made from a short story as the story moves rather quickly centering on the relationship between it's 2 leading actors of Winstone and Morrison. And it does this by imposing some improbabilities such as when Keremara attempt to escape from Van Dieman but the reason it was done like that was to show their eventual rapport with one another leading up to a somewhat unexpected satisfying conclusion.
