Clunky, disjointed and anemic while very low on thrills. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 07/25/2023

K B 02/05/2024 Waste of my life. From the opening credits with the one whole minute camera on the guy squinting around. Yuckkkkk these other reviews are fake just like the rest of rotten tomatoes See more Paul F 12/04/2023 Part surfing movie part thriller the film is kind of a sequel to Avalon's Summer City released 46 years ago the premiere of which I attended. What I loved about it was in part the nostalgic elements as it referenced the original film which starred a few unknown actors like Steve Bisley and Mel Gibson. This film manages to work as a study of Australian mateship and the contemporary surfie culture that has existed in Australia for decades. The surf sequences are dazzling and elegant and the movie moves with a taut briskness. One hopes it gets publicity on home turf and finds an audience. In the US the movie is playing in select AMC theaters and on demand through Apple etc. Grade B See more Phillip A 12/03/2023 I really liked this movie. The plot, 4 guys paying tribute to one of their dads that was murdered, set it up nicely. The cast headed up by Temuera Morrison who comes after Joe Davidson was spot on. The photography, especially the surfing was stunning and story held my attention. The director did a great job. Highly recommended . Olga See more Read all reviews
