This film has been given some good reviews, and I can see why, at times. It's filmed well, and there are some good scenes.
However, this is NOT an exciting film, and anyone comparing this to it's crime counterparts, I don't know what film you were watching. This is boring, very boring, anyone wanting to watch an Australian 'Goodfellas' (I can't believe a previous review compared these two, on NO level are they similar. No level.) Or any of the tens of films along these lines, should not watch this film.
I like a lot of Australian films, and like most, this is well shot, but unlike most, this is very dull. The big sale of this film was 'GUY PIERCE' is in it, well, he is, as a cop, who has about twenty minutes screen time max.
So to be honest, I can't recommend this film, and if you do watch it, after about an hour, like me, you'll be wishing for 'J' to just get shot and for the credits to roll.
