When we watch a film, we often lose focus on the complexities and persuasion that it took behind the scenes to get a film even into production. As is the case with the production of Mary Poppins in the early 1960s when Walt Disney finally lured Poppins author P.L. Travers to Hollywood.
Con movies are an old favourite of Hollywood. Immerging like clock work ever year with a star-studded cast of quick talking wise guys, glamorous girls, shinny backgrounds, fast-moving camera action and non-linier plots to keep audiences on their exhilarated heels. With American Hustle, director David O. Russell throws his hat in the ring of this long-standing genre.
This series has been so perfect. Each episode as moving and beautifully written as the last. There isn’t a flaw in sight. Perfect acting. Perfect stories. Perfectly told. It was great to see Ernie Dingo back on television after a long hiatus, he reminded of us of his talent and his on screen presence. Just beautiful. If you have missed this series you must go and buy it on DVD and experience the awesomeness of Redfern Now.

The build up of tension in the film is laughably weak and the pay-off not nearly gruesome enough. Boys Don’t Cry director Kimberly Peirce tread the line between serious horror film and B-grade homage
