Nice cinematography but let down by bland script, unoriginal and predictable screenplay and shallow stereotypical characters. Greatly overrated.

One of the best. Messes with your assumptions. Could have called it 'The good, the bad & the ugly'.

Yet another confronting political film set on a stunning rural Australian backdrop.
