Familiar narrative in a stunning setting. - Goldstone review by TE
The barren orange-coloured outback makes for a great backdrop to this story of honest policing versus big business crime.
It's very much an old style western movie transferred to a different frontier.

Not quite as good as the first - Goldstone review by AB
Not as good a film as Mystery Road and Jay Swan gets to shoot rifles from a distance again!
People have said that it is slow moving but I did not find that a negative - life does not rush about in the Outback and the storyline was very plausible for a remote place. Q: How did Jay get back 'home' after his run-in with security as the plane took off? He was a bit of a physical mess after the car roll and it seemed a long walk to me to wherever he was trying to get to.
Would love to see the details on the map that he used a couple of times to try and find his way round - must be such landmarks as "3rd rock", "big sand dune" !!!

Worth a watch but rather slow moving - Goldstone review by CD
The film falls between different genres and is not really strong enough on plot, characters or action to be really memorable. It is also very slow moving, not helped by the difficulty in actually hearing what the cast is saying! Still, some good characterisation and the outback backdrop is interesting.
