The haunting music score at this movie stays with me, more than anything that went before. Jimmie Blacksmith is an young aboriginal contractor, whose been done wrong, in a strong edgy performance by Tommy Lewis. Taking matters into his own hands, when he's denied food for him, and his newly wed, white woman (Mcgregor) from a ranch employer, he goes radge, and murders the family, where now him, wife, baby, and his close brother are fugitives. This fine Oz film really shows how blacks were treated, as compared to black slaves over in Louisiana, who of course were treated much worse. We really symphathise with Jimmy, who's anger can off at the drop of a hat. I loved the relationship between him and his male minder (Jack Thompson) the sole one defending him, while at large.I think Bryan Brown, would have the most thankless screen time in this. There's a lot of strong acting chops here, for one, that of Sumner's performances, which I really liked, as a police tracker, who shows anger, disdain, and pity for our most wanted.The outdoor high country locations chosen here, are magnificent, as is Lewis's engaging and honest performance, but it' that haunting music score that always comes back. Some strong shock violence, present here too, notably that of the kitchen massacre. Brilliant.
