06/08/2021 Strained and lacking genuine depth. Maladayed and disorderly with self indulgent writing and direction with little structure. Yawn. See more 07/18/2015 a lil too violent at times for my liking... but a rather interesting Aussie art-house attempt at mystery and sports period drama. Good performance of the lead actors. See more 05/18/2011 Undercooked Australian noir film that squanders its potential. With multiple plot threads left unresolved, the characters in this drama fall to pieces, as does the movie itself. See more 05/16/2011 A period boxing drama that is quite atmospheric. Byrne was quite good in her portrayal of the complicated woman. See more 05/13/2011 Not really sure what to make of this movie. It was interesting, very dark and slightly dodgy graphics/special effects. An Austrlian movie, but would probably not recommend.
