The Hunter (1980)
The King Of Cool's Final Film
When i decided to watch all of Steve McQueen's films, i went the opposite direction and watched this film first, rather than starting with his early films. There seems to be a curse with great actors doing terrible films right before they pass away. Robert Shaw, Bette Davis, Peter Sellers, Henry Fonda (Fonda seemed to have appeared in just about every disaster film before his death in 1981), to name a few. I beg to differ in Steve McQueen's case. Sure this film isn't an earth shattering, Oscar winning experience. Sure this film seems like it was made for TV. Sure this film isn't McQueen's best work. But the great acting alone from McQueen, good supporting work from LeVar Burton and Eli Wallach, and the great subway chase at the end of the film, certainly raises this film above made for TV fare. So, to you Leonard Maltin, this film is NOT McQueen's worst film. It's a fine end to a great career for the King Of Cool.

The King Of Cool Lives On
Being a huge Steve McQueen fan, it was a pleasant surprise to watch this documentary and hear new stories about The King Of Cool. It was great to see his closest friends and fellow actors, such as James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, Bud Ekins, and Loren Janes, remember the legendary actor. A definite must see for any Steve McQueen fan.
