Total crap.

gce2308

The sex in the stairway of the pub, or wherever they were, totally lost me. In fact it enraged me. I was already irritated by the over-earnestness of Mailman and Griffiths up to that point but that totally unnecessary scene jumped the shark. See, I have to believe the character WOULD do something like that and Alex is SO stitched up and SO determined to do good this was totally out of character and really stupidly careless, so it just put me right off. And of course we must have the gay guys story line in there, plus a relationship between Alex and a married man just to enrich the tale. Seriously. I just found the characters completely unbelievable for the most part, the story was predictable and it was oh so slow. I always try to support Aussie film but this was just weak and quite plainly dislikeable for the most part.

score 4/10
