Diagonaldi Very well executed
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
mapddias First I watched this drama on TV around 2010 and I loved it. Because it depicts the true picture of its characters. It's totally realistic. Literary It's the whole life of them. I was schooling when I first saw this drama. Almost 8 years passed and Now I'm in my graduation year. I still love this drama. Now I'm working hard to come to Australia from Sri Lanka. This drama motivated me a lot to do that. I want to thank the director and the crew for creating such a great drama. GREAT DRAMA!!!
mike_cable Rush is a high-energy, dramatic police drama filmed in Melbourne, Australia, that follows the jobs of a tactical response group made up of various individuals. Each episode has self-contained stories while ongoing character development and personal drama for each individual unfolds throughout the series.It isn't afraid to show that the members of the group are only human and can make bad decisions, with repercussions. By 2010, the writers have appeared to have dropped the various "office relationships" that seemed to plague the show in its early stages, although the two young guys seem to have some awkward moments still.The overly shaky camera work can be a bit annoying to some, but you can get used to it, however the music is modern, diverse and works well with most scenes. It often draws comparisons to City Homicide, but they are two very different animals.It often feels like each character is going to have their downfall and you never know when or how it's going to happen, and I think that's what draws me to watch the series.Try not to think too much about the silliness of the actions or dialogue by some of the "professional police officers" in Rush and you'll be rewarded with some good, if sometimes a little anticipated, action sequences by a good group of television stars.
edumacated when i first started watching, i started enjoying. the dialog and interactions were more than i'm used to viewing from the us jj programming. i liked the characters, i liked the dialog. i liked the show.that is until they hit a tactical situation. after that the show turned into amateurish drivel. i'm an old pro, and if this is the kind of respect a major Australian network pays to shows that hinge on gun play, then they should stick to soaps.the tactics and weapons handling were a joke, when one swat officer tells another she knows her scoped weapon shoots low and to the right i about crapped my pants--that is why they have a range to zero weapons and adjustments to get it right. a swat sniper should be able to hit a one inch spot at one hundred yards, no matter the angle.now i know i'm not alone. there must be, at least, some Australian, Afghani vets that are cringing at this show.this is the 21st century, and there is a global audience. get a decent technical adviser and listen to him.i was hoping to enjoy this show, but instead i ended up laughing at it.Robert.
ilya-20 It's good and it deserves better.I don't want to spoil it and talk about what happens. I would like however to mention how Aussie shows manage to capture real life better than American shows - who just lose themselves in unnatural drama. I don't know if that's because Aussie life is more down-to-earth than American life since I haven't been to any of those countries, but somehow I can relate to Rush much more than to any American cop show i've seen lately.The characters are believable and real. And yeah, some ideas might not be the most original out there, but they don't feel fake while watching, and when watching this show I don't get that odd sensation I sometimes get when watching other shows - that feeling that someone's really trying hard to come up with a good story and it just doesn't get out. The story flows naturally.Let's hope they don't lose it. I hope they go as long as Water Rats - maybe longer.
