I happened upon this film after watching a documentary with Mike Newell (Donnie Brasco, Four Wedfings and a Funeral) where he mentioned that this was one of his films that he was most proud of but that "practically no one had seen it". Judging by its relatively low score on IMDb I can see that this film was very underrated.
This is a cross between Falling Down and Rambo. Set in New Zealand around the time of the Second World War with many of the therefore obligatory beautiful landscapes. Iloved this film. The acting was impeccable all round, the dialogue believable and at no point did it glorify or demonize the main protagonist. Definitely worth a watch and a true shame that this film is not more well known.
