I watched this movie initially around its time of release and then again a cpl of days ago.
This second viewing was a bit of a revelation for me. Maybe its the fog of time but I don't remember feeling this way about the movie then as I do now.
This movie is pretty awful, sanitised and bland. It starts of by stealing an opening sequence straight out of The Man From Snowy River, then it hits us with some ole fashioned Aussie banter (cringeworthy) then becomes a bit of a war/romance novel. ALL the characters are clichés.
This is the essence of a good story about real events, that I feel have been done a disservice by this film. This needs to be remade and put some meat on its bones.
Very scenic but nothing else!
