      Audience Member Moderately entertaining drama, detailing the life of a gangster in 1920s Melbourne. Interesting mostly from an historic perspective. However, not very compelling. Is pretty much a blow-by-blow biopic, with very little in the way of background or motivations. Character elaboration is basic. Ending is overly abrupt. Performances are so-so. David Atkins is okay as Squizzy Taylor. Kacki Weaver had yet to find the form which saw her receive Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominations for Animal Kingdom and Silver Linings Playbook. Her performance is a touch irritating, in fact. As mentioned, interesting mostly from an historic perspective, especially if you want a glimpse into 1920s Australia. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Great aussie film, with lots of action! Really let's you understand how it was for criminals in 1920's melbourne. Well done!
