Al filo del poder

I found this in a charity shop as an over-sized VHS with lurid illustrated cover. The airbrushed scene depicted is of a televised political rally and ensuing fight with a guy holding swastika banner. There was nothing to give away it's Australian setting or much else with brief description and mysterious cover art. I'm sure the 1980's distributer wanted it that way. The film trundles along a bit and the pace is not the film's strong point. In fact I'd struggle to find too many redeeming features although I enjoyed the political pessimism and cynical outlook of this near-future set thriller. Budget is minimal, but lots of period technology and fashions. A slow burner.
