We've seen how they run. Now see if we care.

Critic's Notebook

Three Blind Mice deserves to be seen by as wide an audience as possible. It's so intelligent, so opinionated, and so ripe for discussion that it's difficult to see how it could get left on the shelf.

Eye for Film

This is not, like so many films with Iraq as plot element, about the military's inhumanity to others, but its careless disregard for the wellbeing of its own.

Rated: 3/5

Jam! Movies

Defies expectation. This is an unpredictable landscape populated by fully three-dimensional characters, and it's entirely entertaining. This is the world as men live in it.

If these are the types that are given a fully armed military vessel it is no wonder the world is rightly scared. Due to the social crudeness of the Australian this is an interesting look into that world. The actors play very natural parts with conversations that follow suit. The three intertwining plots make a tense and open drama that will remind one of the UK in the 70s. Nibbles: Swordfish.

A bit cruddy, I will admit. This supposedly arty piece that played at festivals is the story of uninteresting sailors on leave who get up to "all sorts of trouble". We don't end up caring about them.

Pretty lame. Random plot just drifts from start to finish. Acting is poor. Worst is, actor/writer/director Matthew Newton didn't even bother to do his homework on Navy ranks and insignia, making the movie even less convincing.
