Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Chloe Hughes In all of Australia's film industry history, the films that stick out and do well are crime movies- drama (Animal Kingdom) and comedy (Gettin Square). And there's dramatised true stories (ned Kelly, Underbelly, Killing Time, Chopper). Then this film pops up, a complete fiction of good cops, bent cops, corruption and criminals all blur into one line. A cast feature mostly of not known actors like David Barry as good cop Detective James Jewell and Andy McPhee as undercover cop Seargent Mike Callis and Peter Phelps in a small supporting role should not put anyone off from watching this powerful crime thriller drama about corruption within Victorian Police and the criminals they are after. Australia should really be making more films like this.
Breakers26 Went to see the premiere of this independent movie in Melbourne last week when on holiday there and it was a pleasant surprise. The film is well directed and filmed with a story that gives a fresh twist or two to the police/homicide genre. Andy McPhee is excellent as a psycho cop and there are plenty of little cameos by well established Aussie actors like Peter Phelps and Vince Gil. David Bradshaw is very entertaining in his supporting role.This film really deserves a proper cinematic release, it's a shame that it isn't better known and that so few have got to see it so far. If you get the chance to watch you should...I'm hanging out for the DVD release, hope its out soon and that it comes with plenty of extras!
