It's strange that this movie is incredibly underrated and people "just" rate it with 3 stars. I've watched it 3x in 2 days. What can I say, this only happens with good movies. They capable to draw you in and keep you interested every second. Very slow paced but full of tension. And all actors are brilliant. Not only Hugh Jackman. The way the movie is shot is like watching art. Moreover the score by Don Miller-Robinson is brillliant and haunting, and as good as scores by Ennio Morricone and Ry Cooder. All in All a movie to have in your collection.

One of the first big-screen movies of Hugh Jackman... Written for someone else, (Marty Deniss who plays Barky), this movie is totally full of Hugh's moving sadness and anger. He is supposed to play one of the secondary parts, the heroe's brother, but he can't help catching your eye, your heart, your full attention. They all look so colourless as soon as Wace shows up... Good story anyway, not for the youngest ones because of themes like abusing parents, drug use, etc... but definitly worth your money, and a "must-have" for all Hugh lovers !

A very sense of a family story has been lost in swearing the characters instantly used to in between urinating and kicking at a toilet while a junior brother returned home after his dad passing away - to get his piece of assets, or?

A work is good for improving the Aussie accent mostly.

Sad man, sad town, seeking friends and family, relooking and rethinking old memories and relationships. Powerful portrait of the brother played by Hugh Jackman. While I saw it on VHS and not DVD, this should apply. There's a soundtrack CD also.
