“Truly great drama based on a real story. The camerawork is simple u0026amp; not flashy, allowing the great script u0026amp; magnificent ensemble cast to shine. There isnu0026#39;t one weak acting performance in this film, the standouts being Jack Thompson (in my opinion, his best ever performance)u0026amp; Woodward in the role of u0026quot;Breakeru0026quot; Morant. Gripping drama that has aged well over 23 years. A must see 9/10.”
