An excellent drama showing typical laconic, dry Australian humour. This is also exhibited in "Mullet". A very good study of unresolved issues between siblings, their loyalties to each other and their parents and the results of parental abuse. Mateship and machismo was dealt with realistically. There was a pervasive atmosphere of loneliness and desolation as shown in the deserted street scenes which added to the desperation of the players.
The awkwardness and tenderness shown by Marty Denniss' character in the scenes with his girlfriend were very touching.
Great performances as always by Aaron Blabey and Hugh Jackman.
