8/10
A fine Australian film
4 December 2002
2002 seems to be a good year in Australian cinema, both in quantity and quality of films. This film fits in the latter category and has a superb performance from Geoffrey Rush.

While this is a period piece, set in the late 50's and early 60's, there is no need to be familiar with this period and it should translate well to other countries as while it is an Australian story it could have happened anywhere.

While the split screen initially seemed unnecessary I think in the end it added to the race scenes.
