      Daniel C Great Sam Elliott - calm cool and suave. This has the relaxed feel of an Australian film, good plot, a lame end sequence, predictable, but still a lot of beautiful scenes and culture of Australia. If you like cool, smooth, relaxed Sam Elliott, you will love this! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
