A beautiful film shot in one of Australia's most iconic locations that reconstructs a true tale of an Australian larrikan in the manner that these stories are meant to be told, serious, but with a nudge & a wink. It was refreshing that the Director (Kriv Stenders) & the human actors never tried to upstage the true star of the movie Red Dog (Koko), letting him become the focus of the story.
It is important that Australian cinema continues to look at the 1,000's of little stories that make us what we are, the stories of towns & people that are often overlooked in our desire to be recognized overseas. Movies like Red Dog are a window to our soul.
Also, an Australian film without the painful slow pace & without the obligatory close up shot of something totally unrelated to the movie ... refreshing!

I only managed to watch the first 30mins of the first episode of this drivel, before I turned it off. Yes, I know I stand to be accused of not letting the characters & the plot-lines build, but come on people, I've seen Guthy-Renker infomericials with better narratives than this tosh.
In the 30mins that I managed to watch, they managed to cram nearly every sappy cliché' ever written into the storyline. It almost seemed that the writers were having a cliché' competition, after spending a bonding weekend at a Hollywood cliché' convention!!! If you've seen any of the 5 seasons of 24, or the 3 seasons of Lost, the characters are all there, just rehashed & regurgitated back onto our screens as 'must see' TV.
BLAH!!!! At least the wonderful Jacqueline McKenzie has been able to keep bread on her table by participating in this drivel & has been able to do some serious acting on the side (Opal Dream & Peaches) with the money she has made here.
If you are craving for decent sci-fi TV, the current series of Dr Who is miles ahead to this rubbish!

It is so hard to review this movie sitting here in 2006, 41yrs after the initial release.
Why? When 'Battle Of The Bulge' was released it was only 21 yrs after the actual event, so what amazes me me is why the Warner Bros. tried to dress this movie up as an historical re-creation? The location, the equipment & the actual events of the campaign were, & still are, held up for ridicule. Can you imagine the outcry if Britain treated the Fauklands campaign with the same disdain or if American cinematographers set The Gulf War (versions 1 & 2) in Canada & told their audience 'oh this is what Iraq looks like!' There would be righteous indignation & it would be laughed out of the cinema's.
And why, to date this movie is still considered a 'war classic'? What was the mind-set of theatre patrons in the 60's? This movie is total rubbish, if you enjoy crap & want to waste 167 minutes of your life go ahead & enjoy. Me, I'll stick to Cross Of Iron, The Longest Day or Downfall.
