Angels of Chaos

Enjoyed this from start to finish! Another bloody good Aussie film! Realistic portrayal of the gang life. Good acting, good filming. Well directed. Good ending!

It's like an Australian Sons of Anarchy, with the fun, wit and quality scriptwriting sucked out it and replaced with various dirty looking meatheads grunting at each other. Every character sticks to the stereotype and the ending is the predictable "crime doesn't pay", even though most of the movie is trying to present the opposite.

Outlaws is the most forgettable A24 films I've seen so far. The acting is good, but that's really the best I can say. This film drags horribly, there isn't really that much of a plot, and it's not engaging. The editing and the general flow is bothersome and it's really just a chore to get through. The screenplay is just all over the place, it doesn't have much of a focus, and it's not really cohesive. I rate Outlaws a 2/10.

Probably one of the best Aussie films displaying acting talent by all leads in this highly character driven B-grade low budget film. Matt Nable, Abbey Lee and Simone Kessell played their characters great, but the stand-out performance for me was Josh McConville as Knuck's brother.

Director Stephen McCallum did a fine job in his first full length feature film. Actor Matt Nable's 2nd writing credit was a great story (aside from a few minor plot issues), but the screenplay certainly needed some tweaking, but still well done for his 2nd attempt. The 92 min length was perfect and the pace was on point.

There certainly was room for improvement in this production, but for a low budget film, it showed really well, and held my attention throughout the entire film.

A well deserved 8/10 from me.

No pun intended and you could also say Siblings of Anarchy, but of course in this case it is about brothers (in arms). The German title even going that route too and making it easy for people to associate it with Sons of Anarchy - very smart marketing wise.

Of course anything with biker gangs stands to be compared with the really amazing and succesful tv show. For those who haven't seen it, the movies might work a bit better. For those who have ... well they have seen in fights and other stuff in a broader and better fashion alltogether.

That being said and while this is rather male dominated, it has its standout females too. And they play a major role - like Abby Lee. As beautiful as ever, as dangerous as always. One may call her trouble - and one may not be too wrong. On the other hand, everyne has their motivation and moral anchor, so there is that. Which one will you attach yourself to?
