The Tumbler

I think this is a good example for why there's the age old adage 'a terrible Australian movie'. If you want a really great Aussie movie watch Animal Kingdom or Two Hands. This? This is terrible.

The major flaw here is that it just screams low-budget amateurs. The acting is stiff, boring, emotionless and poorly delivered. The American accent is fake and you can tell. The Arabic accent is fake, and you can tell. Cinematography looks cheap and amateur, the location is dull and un-engaging, The delivery of the lines is directly off the piece of paper it was written on and overall, it's just a really bad movie.

It's a great Australian Flick. Good Story good acting, great cinematography. A good feel. Low budget, but it adds to the skill of the direction. DNHW (definitely not Hollywood). Good twists and nuances throughout. You don't need a huge budget to entertain and it was entertaining.

The main page critique was way too analitcal (spelled wrong on purpose). I think people cant sit back and enjoy a story they have to tear apart stuff that the average person doesn't give a rat's behind about. Don't listen to the main critique. This is an original, well acted drama and thriller with great character development and plot Sit back and enjoy it folks.
