      Audience Member alsome movie just the way how i see my people in the olden days Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Good enough, with some interesting topics, but relies far too much on the intensity of Temuera Morrison to pull it through. A good peace keeping version of Jake Heke, this character should stay in 'Once were Warriors' and 'What becomes of the broken Hearted' and not influence or be copied into any other character. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member not 2 bad 4 a kiwi movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty gruesome at times, but really good! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Dim-witted, illogical, attempt to create a "Maori thriller" tied in with problems of native land rights and illegal marijuana farming has little to offer in terms of compelling, likeable characters nor is it a story that's worth telling to anybody. A film with an obvious and poorly realized agenda is never better than a film with a decent story and cast. Boo. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie...made me homesick. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
