Copycat

I love Aussie movies, good or bad I'll see them all. (clear bias) I neither liked nor disliked this movie. Acting was patchy and editing failed it miserably. Brown was typically the lynch pin and perhaps without his presence the movie would have been completely lost. My gripe about this movie was the obvious mirroring of the movie Crash. Crash is an extraordinary movie, this movie is not.

No Pundits Here

Can't believe the majority of reviews here being so negative. 2 of the most positive ones live in Brisbane, well guess where I live. It's actually typical of any Australian capital cities I have spent time in. This movie is not and never was meant to be about patriotism. It's about the real life racism that comes with such a wide and diverse range of cultural backgrounds that Australia has. That has been impaled on Australia by every Government since the WWII. Their greed has allowed policies on immigration to be too lax allowing a more rapid population growth. In a poor attempt to imitate the USA, toward wealth and power. Australia Day (the movie) deserves much more credit than it is garnering here. No not the best movie you will ever see but worth the watch, unless you have your head in the sand like most of the reviewers here. 7.5/10
