Nice film set in Melbourne


There's a bit of debate over the plot holes and some ideas in the story but as for the production, it's an interesting piece of work. I found Wenham's character slightly too serious after seeing him portray more humurous characters in other films, but good as a nerd-cum-businessman.

I've never been a fan of LaPaglia and have never seen any of his US stuff before, but I found him coming across as a real hard man in the film.

The shots of Melbourne city, its freeways, buildings and airport was nice. Subtle and not too obvious, they found a good way to show it without getting annoying like some TV shows tend to do.

Overall, a nice little film that needs some calmness to sit through. Check it out.

Mike.

LOL, yeah, I JUST saw this for the first time on cable here in Sydney. Never heard of it until it came on. LIKED IT!!! But, considering how dried up this message board is, Im assuming it wasnt seen all that much to begin with ;).

I'm right, you're wrong. Deal with it!

As a proud Victorian, I love my city Melbourne. we have great buildings, landmarks and scenary. We do not make enough films and tv movies.
