Just an embarrassment

You won't pick it from the trailer but this is not an intense cold war spy drama about nuclear tests in Australia as it was supposedly written as a satire to contrast humour with the dark themes. Someone must have believed that because they blew a lot of money on this dog.

Neither satirical, nor humourous or even cleverly written it's just an embarrassment that must have had the actors cringing as they watched themselves in the rushes.

The production values of recreating the period look set in the beautiful Australian desert just brought into contrast how much of a wasted opportunity of a story and production resources this was.

It's not even bad enough to be worth watching, it just comes over as lazy storytelling, scriptwriting and directing. If you last ten minutes you'll be doing well.

score 1/10
