Review of Goldstone

Goldstone (2016)
2/10
Pretty Much Every Cliche You Ever Saw
15 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This recently aired on BBC TV in the UK and could have been great examining all sorts of issues such as Aboriginal culture, land rights, people trafficking and corporate power. Sadly it was anything but great.

Got to say it had cardboard characters, a basic plot, cliches everywhere and dialogue that could not be understood at times. Some great Australian outback shots spoilt by this drivel of a film basically.

Let's see flawed alcoholic cop, young naive cop, bad town lady mayor, bad aborigine, very bad corporate business man and a few hookers mumble through a plot that some school kid could have dreamt up.

Add in a few ridiculous wild west gun scenes (yes even the man having to dig his own grave) not to mention the rifle shooting with a telescopic sight that has hydraulic smoothness and accuracy (Ever tried holding a telescopic sight motionless especially when running around a hill top?). Finishing with the obligitary spectacular car flipping whilst being shot at with a automatic weapon.

Ludicrous, vacuous piffle
