This is a fantastic Australian movie. If you can catch it on the big screen, then I'd encourage you to take it in. Strongly recommended.

And he can come through the car wreck and gun battle at the end without a scratch even though at the time he seemed near death, not being able to walk or even pull the trigger of his gun. With his car rolled and smashed he jumps in another car at the end and takes off. Who did that one belong to? Were the keys just left in it?I love Australian movies and actors but this was not credible.
... View MoreThis was a very well done movie! The acting was superb and the screen writing was as well too. I really appreciated the quality of this movie and the acting which was so life like and authentic. I really appreciate movies like these that rely on the actors and not special affects or big names. Well done! Bravo.
... View MoreThis is the second installment of the adventures of Jay Swan, Indigenous Australian outback detective. Jay is played by routinely excellent actor Aaron Pedersen, but he doesn't have much to work with here. He looks great on screen, but his acting talent is far superior than the screenplay he's been given on this film. His character was introduced in 2013 in the movie called Mystery Road. That movie perfectly depicted the slow building tension of divided loyalties and suspicion in a small town crime story. This second film is set in a mining town and thats where the interest ends. This movie was really boring and nowhere near as good as Mystery Road. Both films ended in a gunfight, but the first one was well shot and well staged. This movie has the ridiculous unbelievable sight of ordinary citizens going about their day as though nothing is happening during a life threatening gunfight. It destroys the tension, not that this movie created any in the first place. It was way too slow, there was almost no mystery or drama or anything an audience can get its teeth into. The photography was excellent and acting was solid, but moreso than the first, it plays out as an unoriginal fanfiction love note to No Country For Old Men.
