Note de Petticoats
Lately the quality of films coming out of Australia has been dreadful, but this movie has taken the Aussie Film industry to even lower depths.
What a poor film. The acting is dreadful on all accounts with most of the cast looking decidedly disinterested in the whole affair. Is the industry so short of talent that they now have to resort to actors who are totally unsuited for their parts? Mick Molloy as a copper just never washed one little bit for me. The production crew should hang their heads in shame. Most of the scenes have been way too overdone, milked for all they are worth and poorly edited. The grading is hopelessly uneven and in one scene there seems to be a sound sync problem. Then there are other technical sins. I mean really, I thought we were long past the days when boom mikes could be seen at the top of the screen. Every where you look there are the telltale signs of a rushed, poorly researched photoplay. One glaring unforgivable scene shows a van that is supposed to be holding 12 heavily armed men sitting high on it's springs and obviously unladen to even the most unobservant watcher. On the writing side, the swearing is way overdone even for the Australian Language. The previous reviewer states that the film is star studded and uses the "hit" word to describe the casts previous film "Crackerjack".
Crackerjack was a disaster, even in this country. So it's hardly an accolade. C'mon....Lawn Bowls. Oh yeah, they were queuing up out of the cinema doors for that one. Finally on the directing, well all I can say is "Roll over Stefan Elliot, you will soon be joined in that wilderness you have occupied since Woop Woop". Will someone please take a big cattle prod to the Aussie Film industry. It's been in a coma for far too long.

The film was quite good but what strange locational settings have been selected for this movie. I watched with great interest as location after location that I am familiar with appeared on my screen. You see I have walked across the very bridge that is used for the final climatic scenes. (Maldon Bridge on the southern outskirts of Sydney)It's in a lonely valley and is a very rickety unstable structure that crosses a virtually dry creek bed. Ah the magic of the movies. To see the bridge blown up and have it crossing a far more substantial river. Kind of weird. Great Movie, but if you are a Sydneysider the realism may be spoiled.
