- Synopsis:
- American sniper Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck) is known for his exceptional shooting skills. With his custom-made Sharps buffalo rifle, he hits targets at long range like no other. A new job takes him to Australia, where he is employed to hunt dingoes for the greedy landowner Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman). But Marston has only one goal: to claim even more areas of the largely uninhabited continent for himself, and he does not shrink away from the murder of the natives. When Quigley realizes that he is not supposed to kill wild dogs, but Aboriginal people, he refuses to start the job - and as a result gets himself into the line of fire of the unscrupulous rancher.

Larger than life - Quigley Down Under review by RL
This is a lot more than a Western. For a start it's set in the scenic arid Australian outback, where the hero is a stranger to the entire continent. Then it's not just pistol slinging, as he does most of his shooting tactically with a sniper rifle, to great effect. It's actually very charmingly lighthearted, with a little reluctant romance & the larger than life personas of legendary actors like Alan Rickman. It's tough & gritty, with heart-warming humour to suit all. Rickman camps it up as the sarcastic, 'gentlemanly' baddie. Selleck plays the cool, self assured, amicable hero. Laura San Giacomo is great as the goofy, madcap heroin. Capped off by the tremendous music score of Basil Poledouris.

Love Tom Selleck ! - Quigley Down Under review by CS
Not a new movie but enjoyed it nonetheless. Good storyline with a good mix of actors with the right amount of
action & adventure in the dramatic Australian outback. Try it.
