Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

dorijuli I never seen any other film which turned up my stomach like this, but not because if the film would'n gruesome, but because it was perfect. At first I can't understand lot of things, especially why shows the commonly brute and dump criminals such an interesting persons, then came the two brilliant murder-scene (on the boat, and at the river) when I feel the salty air and hear the bubble of water in the silent of night after the horrible acts. The murderers were people too, if they were not any of kind of it. It is that realism which constitute the true literature (because the film is literature too, only visual), but very rare from the beginning when the film industry was born. The "Australian film" are an exception. And the Blue Murder is the crown of it. If I could write in English any good, I would write a sort notice (with ten thousand words) about what the difference of the Australian actors, scenes, lines, photography etc. compared any other country's film-industry (expecially USA), but I can't. (I heard that sigh!) Sorry. L. Katona

donaldtwain This is easily the best mini-series this country has produced. From the opening scenes to the end credits the story rips along at a furious and engaging pace. The writing, indeed the script editing are first rate. The direction of the story is clear and equally the actors seem to respond exactly to the needs of the character, story and director.At no time does the viewer ever become bogged down in superfluous plot because it simply doesn't exist. Instead we get only the intriguing facts of this gripping saga of Australian crime. The research is clearly extensive and the whole production team have done a terrific job. This is what TV should be.

Ashley Wincer Well I had to order it especially from Melbourne to find a copy of it on DVD, but I finally recieved it. I heard about it playing on TV in Victoria but not in NSW for a a long time after it was made. But apparently it finally aired in NSW.Anyway I am from Melbourne and from what I understand about what police have been doing in the past, it is very realistic. It is a good insight to what Australian law enforcement is like and has been like throughout its history.Some people may find the mini series a little on the violent side, I liked it for the realism of it and the bluntnes of it. I hope to see more television or feature films like it again in the future. I believe Australia has a bright future in tv and film making. I just hope they keep on pushing more projects overseas, as I'm getting sick of the Hollywood movies with little plot.

cynic-7 Blue Murder is nothing short of a masterpiece. It delves into the world of police corruption and criminal activity and leaves nothing to the imagination. Everything about it is made all the more incredible due to the fact it's all true.The casting is nothing short of genius. Richard Roxburgh as the infamous detective/criminal/murderer Roger "the Dodger" Rogerson is so utterly convincing and accurate you'd swear it was the man Roger himself. Tony Martin is equally brilliant as the notorious Neddy Smith, the charming, brutal and cunning criminal mastermind. All of the supporting cast do equal justice to the show, in particular Peter Phelps as 'Abo' Henry.Blue Murder will have you utterly engrossed for all of its 4 hour running time, and leave you amazed and shaking your head in disbelief at the end. This is the real stuff, as it happened, as remarkable, and unthinkable as it is to comprehend. Go out of your way to see this one.
