Australia lends itself to the western genre perfectly and yet so few westerns get made here. The Proposition and The Tracker are about the only notable ones I can recall from the past 10 years (at least)... until now. Red Hill tells a familiar story. Its been done before BUT it's story is told in a really unique way. It's a classic western with all the hallmark components and yet it's cast upon a modern setting. Cars and horses share the screen in equal measure and for some reason it works really well. Its filmed in such a was that its also very much a thriller. The score is something from a Howard Hawks film which adds a heightened drama to it all and Red Hill plays out in a very classic way. Cool stuff.
