A lovely transfer (bars top and bottom), clear picture, sound and good subtitles, plus extras as listed on the Amazon site (not seen by me). This is an odd film. Not sure how to categorise it in 2021. It's a thriller laced with humour, and benefits from an excellent performence from Stacy Keach as a truck driver who believes he is purduing a murderer. Helped and a little bit hindered by the late (50 mins in) arrival of Jamie Lee in a rather disapointing performence, but still very watchable. She is a hitchiker and somewhere in her character was a subplot about her father and "stepbitch" that I didn't quite get at the time but did when talking about the plot with my wife. . A good if melodramatic climax and a satisfactory ending (oh, and "Boswell" the dingo) make this a fun if low key, film.
The plot is simple: a truck driver hauling a shipment of frozen meat across Australia becomes convinced that he is on the trail of a murderer. Nothing new there but, then, this was made in 1981. What makes this movie so watchable is that it balances suspense, humour and just a little (slightly unconvincing) gore to turn what should be a fairly routine story into a simple, well-executed film. Don't think for a moment that this will deliver the same kind of shocks as other, more recent Aussie-inspired horror movies like "Wolf Creek" and "Saw". Back then there was neither the budget nor the special effects technology to match such recent gore fests.
What gives this film its charm is not its homage to the Hitchcock classic "Rear Window" but rather the performance of its leading man, Stacy Keach. He plays Pat Quid, an enigmatic truck driver who discusses literature with his canine companion, cracks wise with hitch hikers and maintains the conviction that he is right in the face of increasingly absurd circumstances. Add to this the fact that the film is well shot and keeps you interested right until the very end and you have a little-known gem that will appeal to people who yearn for films with compelling characters and interesting dialogue rather than the many effects-heavy, plot-free movies of today.
A snaggle toothed Jamie Lee Curtis stars in this tepid thriller set in the Australian outback. Not only is there far too much nonsensical chat, the supposed thrilling bits arent all that. Inoffensive and rather tedious with a dumb ending.
A great little film. The atmosphere created is very intimate and there are real laughs embedded in there. The plot ambles along slowly but is never boring and although there is an horrific murder the viewer gets to see none of the gory details. One of those films that make you glad you bought it and once you've watched it you put it in the ï'll watch that again" section.
