Jack Irish: Black Tide (2012)

Jack’s still juggling more than one job and more than his fair share of personal demons in the second film based on Peter Temple’s books.
Most of the primary cast return. I was glad to see Aaron Pedersen there, but he didn't get as much to do as he did in Bad Debts (2012).
The story is made up of many little threads that don’t seem to want to weave together properly, but the dialogue is even better than before and almost every action Jack takes deepens the character, so it remains entertaining even when it gets confusing.
