Natural Justice: Heat

Came across this movie by accident. Once I started watching it, I found it difficult to stop. My family has a long history with York and some of my fondest memories as a child are included in the area. I loved the memories as I saw the various scenes of the buildings and main street. Sonia Todd and Steve Bastoni also have a long history of working together and both are fine Australian actors.

This movie was set in a small outback town called York. I've visited York and it's a beautiful town... the scenery is amazing and the placement (45 minutes from Perth), is ideal. The movie however was disappointing. The storyline was good, but it wasnt anything we havent seen before (racial issues... where aboriginal man is dragged through the mud, accused of murder).

Sonia Todd was a treat, but when is she not?

The lead actress, I found, tried to overdo her scenes by looking really intense when showing emotion... it had the opposite effect.. her scenes came across empty and void of feeling.

I gave this movie a 3/10, not only was there poor acting, but the movie dragged on and I found it incredibly boring.

only watched this movie by chance, but found it surprisingly good. The story and acting were very realistic,e specially the acting of Claudia Karvan in the lead role. I had never heard of this lady but she should secure a good career in movies on the strength of this performance. It helped also that the film location was in York, Western Australia, a district I am familiar with. Gave the movie 8/10.
