This movie could not make up its mind. Is it trying to be a western? Or a love story? Or a war movie? Or an historical drama? Or a commentary on the treatment of Aboriginals in Australia? The actors try to hard to act and come off contrived; especially Kidman. Long and uninteresting with too many digital effects (scenery, etc). If you must wait for the video.

It just shows you how gullable we are to listen to the media about movies. This movie was too long with no substance, boring, poor acting. In fact I'm quite surprized with Nichol because she and Jackman had no chemistry whatsoever. Save your money on this one. Boring, boring, boring.

The reviewer that compared it to Transporter 3 says it all about the kind of reviewers that panned the movie. You need to deal with your A.D.D. first and just wait for T#4 next year. You best read those reviews first, LOL. Like a really great novel that you can't put down, this movie holds you till the very end.Probably the best movie this year in its catagory and for sure it will take some awards. The young boy alone is worth the price of addmission.

This is Out of Africa meets Pearl Harbour meets The Illusionist without the good acting, script, or direction. The leads are great to look at, but that's about it. Two stars.

I am Australian, living in Alberta now. I was thinking that a movie like this would not be very good but it did work very well. Of course there was some arty-cratsy stuff but overall a very good movie. the Ladies will love it for the lead actor who does a very good job. Some of the story is based on true facts - some of which do not do Australia credit. The scenry is great and sweeping. It is a tough country out in the bush. Seeing the Southern Cross was very heartfelt. All in all - a movie worth watching by most people and by both sexes.
