The Hunter (Imprint Collection #110)

THE INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY OF RALPH ‘PAPA’ THORSON. HE’S A MODERN-DAY BOUNTY HUNTER AND THAT’S WHAT MAKES HIM DANGEROUS.

Steve McQueen’s last movie shows the dynamic talent of the late, great actor in one of his most memorable roles: the true story of Ralph “Papa” Thorson, a modern-day bounty hunter. Thorson’s exploits are detailed as he pursues a number of fugitives who have skipped bail. The chase comes full circle when he becomes the quarry of a vengeful psychopath. McQueen’s multi-dimensional performance as Thorson, a man born in the wrong age, is the counterpoint to the explosive action in The Hunter.
