I watched this movie , and i found it horrible. The only thing that made me continue watching the movie , was the acting of Russel Crowe The actress has a very good potential , but , the way the movie is written ruined it completely The bad guy is a terrible actor. This could be a great movie , if better made , but it was horrible in my opinion. This movie , is one of the worst I've ever seen. I don't recommend it to anyone.IF you are going to watch this movie to see if you have some "good movie time" , you better think twice , only if you're just having a good afternoon with your friends , if you are thinking of watching it alone i don't recommend , you will have no fun at all watching this movie (only if you pretend to make fun of it)

Interesting movie that suffers from a poor script, basically, although almost everything else is good or very good. The music and cinematography are excellent, location choices are great, the small/incidental roles are fantastic, almost everyone they encounter is great and very well written, cast and played (great cameo from Colin Hay). However the same can't be said for the two leads and their roles.Has a dry wit and could have almost been a great movie, unfortunately the script, (duh Shakespearean revenge) is stoopid and the lead roles are not quite what they should be. I think it's a Louis Nowra (oz playwright) script, which explains a lot.Worth seeing anyway, and I'd definitely like to see more of the cinematographer's work.

I first saw this movie in a late night slot on a satellite movie channel. The movie has a more than interesting cast of quirky and disturbing characters that appear throughout is length, in some respects quite similar to a Coen brothers film. The two central characters meet in the most unusual of circumstances and have more than one reason to hide themselves from their respective pursuers. The film portrays a different side to Australia, especially with the mixture of cultures presented. There are enough action scenes within film to keep the pace up and is accompanied with a good soundtrack. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it.

Before i decided to watch the movie i read a few reviews and my perception was that the movie somewhat resembled bonnie and clyde. Well yes and no. We have this beautiful background music throughout the movie accompanied by a few violent scenes. What i found interesting is that there were no love story here but.. 2 heres somewhat got closer after one resqued another one.. long story.. finally i was surprised to see them die in a a rather interesting way. there is this sadness at the end that leaves you thinking about the meaning of life.I would recommend this movie to those who do not like much of violence and go for clint eastwood-like western theme.
