Red Hill, had this for a while on blu-ray but somehow Never watched it, Shane is new in town and on his first day a part of the police force, apart from the guy at the desk the rest aren't exactly welcoming or willing to make his job easy for him, and Shane proves by end of the film he no soft arse or pushover that the Sherrif was expecting him to be, Set in a small Australian town in the middle of literally nowhere that resembles an old-style western style look.
Patrick Hughes first film director behind Expandable 3, and like a lot of directors it's very impressive, the music score scenery etc are top notch, cue escaped prisoner Jimmy Conway, and the whole town is out on red alert due to the fact he coming back for Revenge, some nice action scenes that don't go overboard or silly, Jimmy doesn't utter a single word until right at the end when he speaks to Shane, he just on revenge and wants the ppl responsible behind him being in prison, by the ending of the film when you realise why he wants revenge and what happens you feel sorry for Jimmy, a film with no happy ending of winners or losers, recommended.
