The greatest movie ever made..!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Slow to start, and most of the first half of this movie really feels like you would have to be an Australian Ex-patriot in their mid thirties, or forties to really appreciate it, but this is a good movie that has real heart, and a good cast. All that said I am no fan of Aussie rules footie, but the NFL holds no place in my heart either so meh. The movie is just like any ordinary middle American sports movie/ coming of age film, but it is all centered around the main pot twist, and foul deed that muddied the lives of all of these people years earlier. I have never understood the idea of having a home to "go back" to personally as I traveled a lot as a kid, so the whole you can't go home again thing never makes sense to me because in the end in every story that tries to prove that to be true people end up at home no matter where they are right? There is a dirty secret that is blaringly obvious from the start, but it is well told, and all of the build up to the re reveal is eventually worth it so I would say watch it if you want an afternoon movie, but this one will put you to sleep if you are up late, and tired, so avoid wasting your time if that is the case. I Enjoyed it, and recommend it for the most part, so you can take it from there. There is just something so creepy about Angus Sampson though but in that can't look away way.

I am too young to remember the Club so Blinder is my first film about our footy. I found it highly entertaining with enough footy action to keep the boys happy and the girls from thinking there's too much. Had to bribe my girlfriend to go and see it and because she enjoyed it I do not need to suffer through a chick flick for the next 3 months.Blinder is a real story about how one night of partying can not only change your life but also the lives of your friends forever. It's about being mates in a small club and community where in the end everybody sticks together and it doesn't matter what happened or for how many years you have not seen each other.I highly recommend this movie and think there's a good lesson for young boys/adults who think because you play footy and are hailed as 'hero's' in your community, it doesn't take much for things to get out of hand to change your life.

I am not a footy fan but I loved this movie. It wasn't long ago when there was a similar scandal about photos taken at a party involving footballers so the content was relevant & not confined to football. Characters were believable, action exciting & acting excellent. As it ended I heard someone seated nearby say "That was good." The issues raised provided food for thought & much discussion for all. It gives an honest look at sporting clubs & the relationships that are formed in them. This is a microcosm of Australian society: those who want an easy ride, those who struggle to achieve, those who try to maintain integrity, those who prefer to pull down rather than build. There are not enough films that search the issues raised & show the harm that can come from a few silly decisions. It ought to sell well overseas as visually it was beautiful. I enjoyed the genuine "Australianness" of it: anyone overseas watching it will certainly see us as we are: mateship is not yet dead (forgive the pun!) but alive & kicking.

This movie was fantastic, my husband and I have been waiting for this to come out, and went to see it last night - we can not speak more highly of this film... It was motivating, real, honest and so well shot ! It was about life, mateship, team, goals.. making the right choices, and making the wrong ones... A small community and a small town footy club - so melbourne! in fact... Torqauy~ When a scandal happens on a 'party' night, the Torquay togers take celebrating their win too far... lives are thrown into chaos, a 15 year old girl gets caught up in the crazy world of what is reality of today at parties, drinks, drugs and immature boys getting together, it is not nice, but lets face it, it is reality!... This does happen, and this movie doesn't support it... but it shows us that we should be nieve .... however the point to all of this is 'never crossing the line'... it was wrong, and the small community of torquay had to suffer the consequenses to their actions, and they did!... They had to fight back, face demons and rectify mistakes made.We loved how real this was, and after one of the coaches (jack Thompson) speeches I was left feeling empowered! this movie is not just for men, it is for women, for mothers!.... do yourself a favour and go see this ! 10/10
