I only gave this 2, not 1, because I thought some of the acting wasn't too bad. Terrible story, boring and tedious, predictable script. I ground my teeth through this and kept thinking, if this is the state of Australian cinema then I give up. With brilliant movies out there like "Love and Other Catastrophes", "Muriel's Wedding", "Wolf Creek (1)" why did this ever get past the script sketch? If you really want to watch GOOD Aussie cinema try "Romper Stomper" or "Bad Boy Bubby". There was precious little music throughout, and thank god because the "born again" sounding music used in the final credits really had me grabbing the remote to turn it off. Steer clear of this boring, tedious crap ... my two cent's worth.
