The Hard Word

:) :) :) :)

I'll never get sick of clever Aussie movies. In a country like America where low-budget independent flicks still cost a tidy sum somewhere close to a million, a movie made for under a hundred thousand just wouldn't exist.

Anyway - if you get a chance and don't mind a touch of excessive violence, (I'll never look at a lava lamp the same way again...) then you have to take yourself to see this movie. The cream of Australian acting is represented here with Rachel Griffiths, Guy Pearce, Joel Edgerton and the like. The story unfolds with a comfortable number of twists and turns along the way. About 5/6 through the movie, the tone changes and then it's ouch with the killing already. But overall, it was an entertaining and gripping 2 hours, if not particularly thought provoking. (which could also be explained by the fact that this was only the first of 3 movies I saw this weekend, so I'm completely movied out!)
