Lack of good storyline.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreThis show sums up everything that is wrong with Australian TV shows and movies. They Fair Dinkum suck mate! from the cheap and nasty opening titles to the cringeworthy "aussie" slang that peppers the dialog this poorly made show reeks of low budget. Unfortunately every TV show in Australia is the same: hammy over acting, shoddy directing, cliché ridden self conscious scripts and the same actors in every program, like there are only 15 actors in the whole country. I guess the reason this "black comedy" was never picked up for a second series is that it's decidedly unfunny. Maybe what they needed was a laugh track. Then again I don't think that would have helped at all. There is not one laugh out loud moment to be found amongst this dog's breakfast of a show. Not only that but the actors really don't look the part, let alone play the part. More embarrassing, cringeworthy sludge that shows why we only make reality shows now.
View MoreMichael Caton and Daniel Wyllie as the two corrupt cops Red and Lou are a complete joy. They see their role not so much as policemen but as crime managers, making sure they get their cut, keeping crime away from most of their fellow citizens and finding ways to keep their boss Pud (Roy Billing) constantly off balance.
