I thought the actual story line, costumes and setting were very good. Being raised in the Lachlan area I could relate to a lot of locations and homesteads and reference to other locations. I am not sure if the film was made at those locations as the vegetation did seem to vary a bit. The only negative I found with this film was Jamie Coffa's acting and hair piece. I think his performance was a little "thespian" and be more suited to movies like Priscilla Queen of the desert. Historically this was a good film and the director did a good job to capture the time period and how people lived in those days. A much better choice than Ned Kelly and his clan for a movie.

Yes everything about this movie was professional from the filming to the quality of acting. I thought the music and settings were brilliant. Everything was too good. I preferred the original as it was more rustic and relevant to the story. The quality of singing and music was of high standard as was the choreography. There was something about Whoopie and the old cast that made it something special. I did not feel my emotions as much as the first and put this down to having more music and dancing scenes. I did find the newer version had a little bit of comedy there sprinkled through it. A very good movie but I did prefer the original.

A cliche low budget film with low budget actors. The credibility of this movie went out the window from the start. The only way to ruin a simple script is with B grade actors trying to play tough guys. I thought actors improved with age but Louis Mandylore sure proved that wrong. His shirt goes from sweat lathered to brand new throughout the movie, he plays a tough criminal who can barely bend over to tie his shoelaces. I do not know how this made it past the first viewing. It appeared they wrote the script as they went along. The entire crew wouldn't have $2 between them but still can organise diamond heists. There are actors and there are people who think they are. Unfortunately this movie contains the latter. I recommend this movie to watch around 5am in the morning.
