I read a review of this movie suggesting there was some novel twists in the movie, unlike standard mainstream movies.
I was expecting fledgling auteurs to be making a mark in Australian cinematic history.
How wrong I was.
Being a native of west Melbourne suburbs, I found the locations were recognizable and accurately reflected the demographic in this movie. These being drug addicts and life's losers.
That was something I could suggest was positive about this movie. Along with nice cinematography and reasonable editing.
The script was slow, lacking vitality and the acting was dreary(Glenn Maynard stood out as particularly bad), uninspiring and flat. The characters were 2D and the plot was banal. Using periodic incidents of violence to make up for a missing story.
If this was a student film I would say it was a good first effort.
I am guessing that the cast and crew are trying to make their way in a 'cliquey' closed business and they have put this together to do something and prove their skills. Which are demonstrable in part but the movie failed as a whole.
Sad that lots of hard work has resulted in such a poor result. 2 stars - 1 is for effort, not for cinematic merit
