Absolutely the worst movie.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I got this movie out as a DVD recently, not knowing anything about it or the actors/director. My interest was due to the fact that it is set in Perth, where I'm from. It's a great small budget film in which all the action takes place on a train. The actors, especially the lead - the tall thug, are excellent and the script quite confronting, with snippets of humor throughout. The storyline is quite believable for anyone who's been even briefly annoyed with idiots/anti-social members of society acting-up on trains. My wife and I sat transfixed for the entire movie, which is pretty unusual. I certainly recommend this movie, although not if in the mood for a light, fluffy feel-good experience!
Being Australian, I keep a close eye out for Aussie films and am always willing to give them a chance. I must say that the film started off at a crawl and gradually picked up some momentum which kept me watching. The film continued to pick up momentum but fell flat at the ending.The story follows two men, young Trev, a deadbeat no-hoper teenager from the street and his tall unnamed thug associate recently released from prison as they call the last train from Perth to Freo in the early hours of the morning. Eventually three more people get on the last train to Freo, and some interesting revelations about these characters are revealed.The acting isn't too bad and the dialogue was quite fresh and uniquely Australian. But at the end of the day, nothing happens. The film continues to build momentum throughout - revelations are made and the main thug becomes more aggressive and we wait in anticipation to see the outcome. But the film does not take the next step. Some may applaud the film for doing this, but not me because it meant the film was completely devoid of anything happening. The concept was interesting, but it seemed the writers didn't know where to take it. Nor did I feel that the film made any relevant commentary on society which it attempts to do.Its disappointing because this film was quite an interesting concept but the result is forgettable.
I wasn't sure what to expect and originally watched this movie because I like just about anything with Gigi Edgley in it. I wasn't disappointed at all. This movie starts out in what seems a slow and sluggish way but the eventual twists and turns make it all worthwhile. It was an excellent character study piece. It really isn't a movie for the younger crowd because of the adult situations. But then, I guess compared to HollyWould movies this is rather tame. It is just that the acting and situations build to a crescendo towards the end and present the subject matter in a very visceral way. It will have you on the edge of your seat towards the end. The casting couldn't have been better, the acting was great, and the direction was excellent. It is a drama/thriller extraordinaire.
I saw this film the other day on a Qantas flight back to London from Sydney. If anyone has ever done the flight then you'll know how tedious it is, but I decided to explore some of the more obscure films that were provided and was rewarded with this little gem. Featuring only five characters and very little action, it manages to keep you hooked through great dialogue and interesting characters which are well acted. In fact, it is reminiscent of a Harold Pinter or Samuel Beckett play, bearing more than a few resemblances to "Waiting For Godot" and the like. It creates tension and keeps you guessing throughout through character development and conversation, rather than showy special effects and cheap thrills. At times it drags, but this is a minor flaw and overall it's well worth checking out, proving that there's more to Australian media than Neighbours and Home And Away. Good stuff
