Best movie of this year hands down!

Memorable, crazy movie

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I see Earl from Australia talking about the bikes and the film.As for the film,I have been a biker my whole life and first wore colours in 1971 and still do.I am also a film maker.The way they act on the film is just about dead on and as for the bikes.They are all Harley Shovel heads which were made from 1966 to 1984.None of the bikes are new and are all authentic to the period.In 84 they began building Evos and the switched to Twin Cam engines in 1998.They were Twin Cams in the harleys in 2011 so no you are wrong about the bikes.Those bikes are the bikes we road back in the 60s 70s and 80s.As for the Sportsters in the film,they were all period Iron Heads.Before you run things down maybe it would be wise to get your facts strait first.This was not bad film and it took me back to those days.It was very realistic in it's portral of bikers in the 70s and 80s.And as for Campbell,it isn't was but is as the Enforcer is still alive.

From someone who only read about the massacre that this film supposedly follows to me was great for an Australian production. We don't have a great reputation for great productions for both film and television but I did enjoy this series. I know that we do have the odd great hit, Mad Max comes to mind and Stone.It has some violent bashings and extensive drug use and simulated sex scenes but the highlight to me was Callan Mulvey. This guy is going to be a superstar, mark my words. Every role he does he excels in, Home and Away, Rush and The Hunter are all recommendations to watch.This may not be great to those who know of the characters in real life but to all of us other Aussies this series is great escapism although it is not in the league of Sons of Anarchy, but then no series will ever be able to take SOA's status away.I ticked the spoiler box just in case I did write something that spoilt the experience of this for somebody. This is not my intention as I believe that you must watch not expecting anything.

The show was really good but could have been a bit Meaner and maybe a bit more realistic but I must say I am not happy it was only 6 episodes long. I hope they make another series as this was good viewing. Maybe it could have gone into more depth on how the club got money and what the real war was over.The show was over all a good show The actors did well playing the characters. The action was a bit slow but was tense when needed. I wanted to watch every week and looked forward to it.I really wish their were more episodes.go enjoy

I watched two whole episodes just to make sure. This really is mostly terrible, best illustrated by one unfortunate piece of casting.Colin 'Caesar' Campbell was a big man, tall, broad shoulders, an imposing, perhaps threatening presence. He is portrayed here by Anthony Hayes, who is about as imposing as a teddy bear. He has narrow shoulders, a pot belly, he really isn't up to the job. He's not alone in that but, more than any other cast member, illustrates how this show falls so far short of anything remotely resembling a true portrayal of an outlaw motorcycle club.It's quite clueless. These rough, tough bikies, who mostly look like a bunch of nice middle-class youngsters after a biggish weekend, ride around on shiny new Harleys, straight off the shop floor in 2011. So there you go, how many telephone calls would it have taken to line up some authentic old motorcycles? One, if you rang the right place, it wouldn't be that hard.There are whole sequences where nothing happens, nothing is learned about the characters, the narrative grinds to a halt. There is the occasional brief flicker of a scene that isn't all that bad, usually featuring Callan Mulvey and Matt Nable , the two leads.Okay, so we've got some pedestrian direction and photography, a lousy script, woeful casting, fair-to-middling acting, some reasonable art direction and set direction, poor attention to relevant detail and an overall look and feel of the whole project being rushed along too quickly. So it's pretty much your standard Australian teev series.It's quite extraordinary in its own way. A show about bikies that is boring and mundane.
