The Australians are showing their muscle again as film-makers in Backroads (Scala), a low budget feature set in the outback of New South Wales. |
It is a violent story of crude, hard-drinking, hard swearing thieves who steal a car, and with guns at the ready cut a swathe of violence through the small townships in the wilderness. |
Produced and directed by Phillip Noyce, the film has a rough honesty which outweighs the general nausea it generates. |
