Movie : Snap Review – Mystery Road

A trucker pulls over on a lonely stretch of road to check his load and stumbles onto a young girl’s dead body. One of the local police detectives takes the call and starts his investigation into the murdered aboriginal girl. The detective, also aboriginal gets no cooperation from his fellow law officers or from the locals on both sides of the cultural line. We ride with him as he tries to solve the crime amidst the prejudices and his damaged past.

A great Australian Indie that tells a good story against a beautiful background. Ivan Sen directs the film and uses everything at his finger tips to make a good flick. CB likes films with good unfamiliar actors. Aaron Pederson as the lead is one of those and he is perfect. Lots of good performances sprinkled throughout. No false moves in this modern day western. I’m a sucker for this style of film. This one delivers.

Get caught in the middle with our hero and see what you think. CB liked it.
