Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

wamwatcher Recorded off cable just because I was curious about Jamie Bamber acting outside of Galactica. The DVR listing said "Thought Provoking," but they say even the junk is "riveting," but this time they got something right. And you'll notice most of the reviews mention John Doe made them THINK. You can go through a lot of movies without that happening. Especially now that Summer is coming. :>){TINY SPOILERS HERE!!} Some plot points get glossed over, there is a twist at the end that is fun but could use more explanation, & an audience gratification ending. Which is the best I can do for complaints. RECOMMENDED

PanamaVeggie While not all were stellar, most of the actors were solid. Sam Parsonson (Murray Wills) deserves a special mention; I expect to see him in more films as his unique look and utterly believable portrayal are sure to make directors sit up and take notice. Brooke Ryan (Mary Jones) had a small but significant role and more than delivered. There's also something very special about Gary Abrahams (Sam Foley), who reminded me of T.R Knight, Peter Dinklage, and Justin Bartha (earnest eyes, lol). Ditch Davey's detective James Clint was too "Dirty Harry" for me. He overacted and came across as a bit ridiculous. I was actually about to give up on the movie during one of his early scenes but the questions being raised were too good for me to not finish watching. We've all seen TV shows and movies dealing with revenge and vigilantism but generally they focus on doling out revenge or "justice" and not with the moral implications of taking the law into your own hands. This movie, on the other hand, raised every question imaginable. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just conclude by saying that this is a very solid movie--a perfectly good way to pass the time if you, like me, enjoy a good revenge/vigilante flick. When it comes to the premise and screenplay, however, I can't praise this movie enough. If you, like me, are always looking for a film that is truly different (and goodness knows, there are precious few), then you must watch this.

SavouryCouch7 I made an account just to review this film, I would recommend to check this movie out. I tend to have a low tolerance when it comes to action movies, and sometimes even less for a B- grade but this film was remarkable, it could easily contend with a lot of the stuff Hollywood is pumping out lately in the action/suspense field. I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, I read lots of positive reviews and decided to give it a shot. Upon the opening titles and seeing studios I had never heard of I was bracing myself for the worst of the worst in low budget. I was born in Australia and I know the quality of Aus films aren't always that appealing or, well, good. Whilst I was somewhat apprehensive to start with the movie had no trouble entirely gripping me throughout.Initially the story-telling seemed either a bit jumpy or vague for the "set-up" phase of the movie where we are introduced to to the plot and main characters, although I feel it was used effectively to gain momentum.I was blown away by the subject matter in the film it is outstanding for a modern movie, it's also a very bold step for Australian cinema as usually films can bring a very conservative or intentionally 'out there' feel. This film will make you think. It deals with gray areas of life in a way that it may even get you worked up in your seat. I tried to watch a standard Hollywood action blockbuster today but after John Doe, it felt like it was playing out more like a Disney movie in comparison and I had to shut it off, I don't remember the last time a film has done that to me.The casting and writing was almost immaculate, actors were very capable and many even seemed like types of people you really would actually come across in Australia. I feel the combination of those things made the whole plot much, much more immersive. The pacing was refreshing and the vast amount of conversation did not slow the action at all. if anything dialogue was enhancing the action because it was so thought-provoking. There were a couple of moments I found myself thinking all the stops had been pulled and the rest of the film was to be of a courtroom (or of something to that 'thrilling' effect) only to be impressed again and again until the credits rolled. The only negatives I can think of are the quality of the very minimally used CGI explosions, and the choppiness of the very final scene (which I would imagine had to do with the fact it involved trying to depict Assault Rifles in front of Melbourne's Parliament house)In summary, this is not your standard action/thriller movie. I believe this is something special. I felt overwhelmingly proud of the Australian film industry after seeing this. It was so surreal to see the parts of Australia I know so well in a movie that I kept thinking was from Hollywood, almost felt starstruck. And if the accents weren't quite so genuine you'd probably think it was a US film if you didn't know about it beforehand. If you're thinking about watching this movie I'd urge you to check it out, even if it's just as a time killer, you will not be disappointed. I will definitely be watching John Doe again before a Taken or a Statham or anything of those likes.(I gave an extra star just because the final scene took place across the road from where I live, there's no better way to end a good movie than to have a bunch of explosions on your street before the credits roll)

Zero Cool I must admit I was no expecting this movie to be this good and it could may be a story from our real life in today's world.Everybody knows there is much injustice out there but don't care mainly because it does not happen to them. I don't want to spoil the movie but who is on the fence about seeing this ... GO FOR IT .... is going to awake the justice that is in all of us and makes us think what world are we leaving in(that is if you are a law abiding citizen) + takes some things from the real world hacker group Annonynous witch is always great news.To bad this is not going to be seen by many because is a small budget movie.
