This falls into the class of 'people story' and these do need to be done at a certain pace. Dad Sam having lost his wife in tragic circumstances is now attempting to raise his son while dealing with the trauma. A former Special Ops mate factors in and things get messy. This is not a fast paced action movie, and it's refreshing that it isn't as the story wouldn't work properly if it was. However, there is a lot happening and it certainly kept our interest. Relationship between Dad and son is great to watch. If you love a good people story and like relationship tales, then this is a good watch and we really enjoyed it.

While a slow movie to start (very typically of Aussie movies), the plot developed showing the impact of war service and other life tragedies.

The acting was excellent showing the various reactions to these life tragedies.

Sam Worthington gave an excellent performance of the impact of war, the loss of his wife and battling to save the relationship with his son (both actors were also brilliant).

Unfortunately the background music nearly made us stop watching. Why the music in the first place and why so loud? Often the actors could not be understood.

We would have given the movie a higher rating if the editors had eliminated or reduced the music volume.

Not what I was expecting. This is a more realistic drama and not the typical action thriller I thought we were about to watch.

This is a more honest drama about life for a ex-SAS man suffering from PTSD and his son trying to survive day to day and overall together. As he gets into more and more debt, Worthington turns to his old sergeant to get some easy, but illegally earned, money.

Written, directed by and starring Matt Nable (ex NRL player) its a stunning piece of work.

Plus this is Edward Carmody's (16yo Billy) first tv or film appearance and I think he's amazing. An amazing piece of drama.

People don't understand movies and they are reviewing this. It's supposed to be slow and boring at times. But it's very nice. The story is something we have all seen before, with a little of twist here and there.

The great part is that Sam Worthington is a good actor and it's really fun to watch him. This should be Sam's comeback hit!

The bad part about is perhaps some of the story is convoluted and doesn't make sense. But that's about it, it is very good on the dialogue part, acting part and direction. Matthew Nable is excellent and it's a lot of fun to see him be intimidating at times.

Australia is a great country and they know their stuff. Overall a good watch.

Acting is on cue , the scenery is very beautiful, but one thing I can't really get my head around is Why this movie is going back-and-forth all the time through the whole movie at different time zones. It's very slow hard to figure out (what this movie is actually about) and what is the point? This movie was so overhyped on the radio and previews and it was just one big waste of time with to many sub plots.(Maybe as a mini series could of worked out). Thank you Stan you have done it again wasting good actors on a very poor script and didn't want to spend a lot of money. This movie could've been a lot better as the actual shots and action sequences that are rare in the movie were actually really good.
