Title: A One-Sided Gunfight
Review: This is a gorgeous film, offering one of the few close, accurate depictions of the "wild west" of the Australian outback. It is an "arty" western, with lots of sunsets and a lovely sound track which mixes native traditional instrumentation and modern "Western" sounds to good effect. The acting is superb - lots of memorable faces, including a few Aborigines. The story is predictable, but nothing else is. But in the third act,it is not at all clear why the protagonist leaves himself wide open for attack. It is as if he had suddenly become incompetent, or had lost the will to fight. The fine dining scene just doesn't make sense to me. Why were there no guards, no dogs, no alarms. Still, apart from plotting, the film is a welcome surprise.
