Review of Muru

Despite the introduction there is literally nothing in this movie with occurred in reality. This movie was based on a simple police operation in New Zealand where 4 people were arrested and convicted on a number of weapons offenses. However, this was not shown in this movie. The movie portrayed the behavior of the New Zealand police in the most extreme manner imaginable involving numerous impossible actions without repercussions. All these actions actually never occurred and were complete fiction imagined by the writer to falsely gain sympathy for a Native New Zealand group.

The actions of the police in this movie were so extreme as to be completely unimaginable and laughable. At times the portrayal of the police were that comically bad I though I was watching a parody movie. The complete lies and inaccuracy in this movie actually backfires on the politically driven motive of the writer creating non-belief in the plight of the Native New Zealand group in question.

This is also a low budget movie with the acting being well below par. The actions sequences are very staged and do not flow. The story line is also not very believable and relies to much on the imagination of the audience.

To enjoy this movie you will have to suspend reality and have no knowledge of the actually events shown in this film.
