Rough Stuff

...is the reasonable word . Because, in fact, it is just chaos. A not so bad story infected with so many twists than it becomes just pretxt for fight scenes , adventures, cliches and a horrible end. Could it be better ? Maybe not. Because, except Gareth Rickards as poetic savage Charming Prince, nothing could be saved in memory from thhis...salad.

I saw this for the first time as an overnight rental from my local video store.

If you're looking for a Fast and Furious style Aussie movie with a strong storyline, you will be disappointed (face it, you didn't watch fast and furious for the storylines, it was always about "cars and girls, cars and girls" ref: directors commentary of 2 Fast 2 Furious). If you're looking for movie where you get to see the Australian outback, some four wheel driving... and somewhat of a story line in the background similar to Fools Gold, throw in some Aussie slang and a couple of Americans who are confused by every bit of slang used, then this is for you.

A film about a bunch of bush people who love four wheel drives that try and find fools gold but it never quite delivers. It's trying to be a hollywood action film drop in a hot American girl and you think you have a movie. Trying too hard to emulate 80s or 90s adventure / action films. It only delivers on some action, but the characters are boring, the dialogue not very good and the actors as well as they are good, there's nothing special happening. Don't waste your time this film is so boring even with all the adventure. The missing ingredient is EMOTION, there's nothing compelling or interesting to draw you in. It's shot well too so not too many positives here.

Where did this movie come from.

I saw this in early 2018 and had nothing to go on besides a great trailer that seemed fun. This movie was incredible and truly a hidden gem that deserved more buzz.

The film has different plots that intersects. It's an adventure film, with some action and some chase scenes and really good acting. Characters who are brave and conflicted play the parts well. Characters with morality, show their chink in the armour. It is just a fun overall movie and solid action adventure comedy.

It's a film that makes fun of tree huggers, and takes some twists and turns along the way. You end up liking the main characters for as the story makes you pull for the macho men and the lost tree huggers. There is a really good chase scene involving 4x4's; just an awesome scene.

This movie is fun, macho and unappologetic for it.

If you like fun movies, that has action adventure, this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED viewing.

9.5 out of 10.

This is one that I watched in passing lately, and it's a fun little filler for time.

Recycling various jokes from similar action adventure thrills into an environmental tinged movie, we have gold diggers, mysterious men, greedy capitalists, slackers and the obligatory poor little rich girl falling in love with the hunk with a heart!

So you can already figure out the storyline, so no need to go thru that.

We have here a low budget movie which is daft but fun enough. Enough jokes to keep you going despite nothing home to write home about. For the director and actors it's a good jumping point to something else (you got to begin somewhere) and in time they will look this with a smile.

As always, the film is stolen by the slackers/stoners, in this movie played by Sam Glissan ('Scraps'). He and his lady are the two best things here.

As it's derivative etc, it wasn't for me but i still went with it. Reminds me of those tv movies that used to come on on a Friday evening to fill in the time when i was a kid, and sometimes they were a lot of fun,

Look, I think you'll still go along with this. One for Saturday afternoon when nothing else is on, and you know what you'll leave with a smile.

Enjoy.
