Incredible movie. Joaquin Phoenix's performance is sublime. It might have The Joker and be set in Gotham City but there's not a super hero in sight. If you're looking for the latter, best look elsewhere. This is a psychological movie and it will blow your mind. Come to it with no preconceptions 👍🏼

This film just oozes 'Australia'. It excels on several levels - the storyline itself, a great suspense thriller in its own right - the commentary on the treatment of the indigenous peoples at the hands of the whites - and finally, but certainly not least, the incredible natural beauty of the Australian outback. Intertwined in this is a fabulous sparse dialogue at ofttimes delivered with biting humour. David Gulpilil is nothing short of a national treasure - you won't see better than this anywhere, period! Gary Sweet needs no introduction and is, as always, brilliant. Damon Gameau gives an truly outstanding performance as the 'wet behind the ears' new recruit. The soundtrack features many haunting songs by Aboriginal singer Archie Roach - some may find it a little harsh and invasive at times. It would certainly be interesting to experience this movie with nothing but the sounds of the Australian bush. Without any doubt one of the best best Australian movies ever made!

I have just watched the final episode of this outstanding Australian police drama and about the only thing that surprises me is how few people seem to be even aware of its existence. Every episode is like a high class feature film. You simply will not see anything better from anywhere in the world. I don't really want to write 10 lines - I just want to implore you to watch it for yourself. Featuring some of Australia's finest actors and a very evocative musical score, it portrays a gritty picture of Australia's urban underbelly. The script is tight and twitchy and never a dull moment. Every aspect is simply superb. This edgy drama is an absolute must - do not miss it!
