Guy Pearce leads the cast as a captured outlaw in the 1880's let loose by the law to hunt down and kill his psychotic older brother played with great intimidation by Danny Huston. It's a merciless, gritty ride that makes no apologies for it's realistic portrayal of the racism, violence and lack of proper law in early Australia. This well-paced story about morals, loyalty and revenge could have benefited emotionally with a longer back story for the brothers. No matter, it's still a great western that captivates from start to finish.

I rented this when it came out. I had no idea what to expect, I just liked Guy Pearce. Damn! It was good.
