Audience Member Strained and lacking genuine depth. Maladayed and disorderly with self indulgent writing and direction with little structure. Yawn. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A period boxing drama that is quite atmospheric. Byrne was quite good in her portrayal of the complicated woman. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
