It’s a gorgeous film to watch, but a better and bigger one to think about. The key to unlocking this hugely ambitious genre hybrid – a classic Australian film and a masterpiece of outback noir – is understanding that Goldstone is a country, not a town, and its name is Australia. Read full review

Filmmaker Ivan Sen is a quadruple threat as writer, director, composer and cinematographer of this wily Australian thriller. Read full review

Awesome look at Australian back country. Quality performances slightly reminiscent of early Clint Eastwood movies in tone. This is the same lead character and director as Mystery Road; another outstanding viewing opportunity. Somehow they get top notch guest stars.

Way better than the first one; it loses the Australian idiosyncrasy in favor of a more regular Thriller.
