Mystery Road can best be described as an Aboriginal noir western.
Aaron Pedersen is Detective Jay Swan. A determined indigenous cop who never seems to give up despite the obstacles in his way which includes threats and racism.
The detective wears a white cowboy hat but seems to use very little of his grey cells in the head as he investigates the murder of a young Aboriginal prostitute in the outback.
This is a very slow burn thriller with some unresolved side plots and conspiracies. A lot of the story is confusing, even though I have seen the film twice.
I really found this film to be tedious despite some nice photography such as the sunsets. Only the shoot out at the end perked things up.
