6. The Hunter
Normally when a trailer misleadingly markets a film people will moan for a bit then settle down to enjoy whatever they've been tricked into watching, but in the case of The Hunter the marketing got in the way of many people enjoying this stellar Australian drama. Presented as a tense thriller with a constant threat to Willem Dafoes hunter, the film itself (which took a good year from its home release to make it to the UK and the US on limited release) downplayed much of the company drive that seemed so prominent in the trailer, instead relishing in the character relationships and the crushing scale of the Tasmanian wilderness. Dafoe delivers a toned down performance as a hunter sent to wipe out the Tasmanian tiger for morally questionable means who throughout all his interactions never feels like hes going to ham up like he has in the past. It is the sort of film you need to be in the mindset to take the most from and the marketing certainly doesn't set you up to spend as much time exploring a family torn apart by a missing father as the actual landscape.
