9/10

A young man leaves home in search of his fathers backgound in a small country town and gets mixed up with all sorts of weird and wild characters

A sequel to the Mel Gibson film Summer City. Breaking Loose has a real warmth to it. Peter Phelps (a young Paul Newman) leaves home & hooks up with an old surfer who was a friend of his father. The surfer & his aboriginal mate live in an old shack on the beach and are constantly harrassed by a local cop who hates surfers & what they stand for. Peter Phelps & Vince Martin are great in the key roles & the beautiful Abigail is well cast as the down trodden wife. Great cinematography, good cast and a quirky story you can watch again & again.
