Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
adonis98-743-186503 An accident involving a young child sets off a chain of events that brings an Australian police officer's world crashing down. Felony is a great non stop thriller with full tension and some really great performances by Joel Edgerton, Tom Wilkinson and even Jai Courtney gave a really good and believable performance. This is a film that everyone needs to see if you definitely love this kind of dramatic films about Cops, there is a lot of tension and you have to be patient with this movie because if you except some buddy cop action film you will be disappointed but overall this was a really good film and i'm gonna give it an 8/10
LeonLouisRicci Australian Film with British Actor Tom Wilkinson Stealing the Show delivering Cynical, Sharp, and Provocative Dialog Written with an excellent Feel for the Subject by Joel Edgerton. The other Two Lead Actors Joel Edgerton and Jai Courtney are really Not Up to the Task. Their Limitations are Glaring when placed Next to that Old War Horse Wilkinson and He Literally Blows Them Off the Screen. They seem to Mope and Stand Around a lot and Stare, to convey Dedication and Guilt. This is a Character Study with some Concern about "The Thin Blue Line" also Known as the "Code of Silence".Police Protecting Their Own. A very Topical Subject to Say the Least. This doesn't Involve Shooting Unarmed Suspects but is Profound Nonetheless. It Starts as a Drug Bust Action Film, but After that the Set-Up goes Nowhere but the Background, as Does another Crime Procedural about a Pedophile.The Focus here is Clearly within the Department and the Movie is a bit Different Compared to most Modern Shoot 'em Ups. Not a Great Film but Worth a Watch for Wilkinson's Rants and a Good Story.
patrick powell With so much high-octane expensive Hollywood dreck crowding out our cinemas, real gems such as Felony, Animal Kingdom (which also has the very excellent Joel Edgerton) and Mystery Road seem to get sadly bypassed or even forgotten. That isn't to say that Hollywood can't make good films (or that Australia can't make clunkers), but they seem to be few and far between and distributors who are obviously and understandably in it for the money seem to take the easy way out. Oh, and I really haven't seen enough Australian films to list any clunkers, but what I have seen is of an enviably high standard. Some reviewers here have bemoaned the lack of 'action'. Well, boo-hoo for them. I far prefer the subtlety of writing, direction and acting we get in Felony. Three different kind of cops, all in their way a little flawed, though not in a clichéd way, get caught up in a sad situation, an unfortunate incident which simply spirals out of control.Edgerton, basically a decent man is persuaded by Tom Wilkinson's old-school cop to tell a lie after he accidentally knocks a young lad off his bike at night while less than sober. Add to these to Jai Courtney's young cop who feels he must do the right thing - though his motives are a tad murky - and you get a complex psychological drama which satisfies at every level. None of the characters is 'bad' or 'good', and each works in a pressured environment.Edgerton scores double because he also wrote the script. I shall now be off to see what else he has written. If you manage to catch this and like great filmmaking, watch it.
Hannah Gardiner It is a very good movie, the story line is very well thought out and is very good, but the movie goes very slowly it would be an excellent movie if it went a bit faster.The actors who are in it a very good. the director did a very good job just needs to make the movie move a bit faster.and since I am from Australia I am glad to see that the Australian movie empire moving along good job film Australia.There where some filming mistakes but that doesn't matter it still was a very good film. very well done Jai Courtney I loved you in divergent and I loved you in this!
