Guy Pearce plays the titular Jack, who’s Australian not Irish. He was once a well-adjusted criminal lawyer, but a tragic event changed his life forever. Now he’s a part-time private investigator and debt collector living from day to day off his wits. Aspects of an old case that didn't end well resurface and Jack gets dragged back into the murkiness.
I've not read the novels of Peter Temple on which the film is based, but that didn't stop me enjoying the story or the character, partly because I love the Aussie attitude. They don’t mince words.
Fans of TV detectives and sharp dialogue shouldn't be disappointed.
