Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

nicholls_les The most disturbing thing about this movie is that it is true.Thankfully it relays a story that needs to be told about the Australian Government's policy of taking half-caste children from their Aboriginal mothers and sending them a thousand miles away to what amounts to indentured servitude in 1931 Molly, Daisy, and Grace (two sisters and a cousin who are 14, 10, and 8) arrive at their Gulag and promptly escape, under Molly's lead. For days they walk north, following a fence that keeps rabbits from settlements, eluding a native tracker and the regional constabulary.The film is surprisingly captivating considering that very little happens during the journey and the lead actress Everlyn Sampi who plays Molly is especially good. It is hard to believe that all the child actors and extras had never acted before this film.I would highly recommend this as a must watch movie.

SnoopyStyle It's 1931. The government in the Chief Protector of Aborigines A.O. Neville (Kenneth Branagh) is the legal guardian of every Aborigine in Western Australia. Government agents would remove half-caste children from their parents. Sisters Daisy and Molly Craig along with their cousin Gracie are taken from their tribe, the Jigalong mob. Molly's father is a white man who was working on the rabbit-proof fence. She leads the trio in an escape. They follow the fence back home tracked closely by native Moodoo. Neville directs a massive manhunt to find the three little girls.It's a compelling historical drama. The little girls are great especially Everlyn Sampi. It also has the great David Gulpilil. Seeing the real Molly Craig and Daisy Craig Kadibill in present day is what truly kills me. It's an amazing true story.

Dale Haufrect "Rabbit-Proof Fence" is a 2002 film and it is a real winner. It is directed by Phillip Noyce. The book is by Doris Pilkington and the screenplay is by Christine Olsen. The cast includes Evelyn Sampi, Tianna Sanbury, Laura Monaghan, David Gulpilil, Ningali Lawford, Myann Lawford, Deborah Mailman, Jason Clarke and Kenneth Branagh. The film is told in a steady, unsentimental tone that allows the film to be powerful without the typically Hollywood use of sweeping music or other such lazy tools. Instead the circumstances of the story create the emotion. The story is a little weak at some points – once the children escape the film has a touch too many scenes of near-capture and escape to sustain the drama. Also the film (understandably) lends a lot of respect to the Aborigines – giving them a sense of mysticism that they maybe don't deserve. This is a slight problem when a key action involves a hawk that is supposedly summoned by their mothers (or something!). However these are minor complaints given the sweeping emotion of the film and the sheer power of the story. I gave this film 9 stars.

elin-bronstad This movie is about the aboriginal girls Gracie, Daisy and Molly, and it's a true story. They are from the "half caste" generation, also called "the stolen generation" Their home is named Jigalong and the kids in the movie were taken by force from their families, far away from Jigalong to Moon River where they are going to be taught to be servants. The girls managed to escape the camp together, and they walked all the way from Moon River to Jigalong, and they follower the rabbit proof fence. Everybody was looking for them, and they were in the newspapers every day.The minister in charge of the half-caste people was Mr. Neville. He did everything he could do to bring the girls back to the camp again, but he failed.The girls walked continuous for about 9 weeks and they had to fight through the rough landscape of Australia's desert, without food or water. Sometimes, the camera was filming like we were a crocodile crawling towards them. I liked that, because it felt like I was in the movie.What I liked about this movie was that it is a true story, and two of the girls, Molly and Daisy, are still alive. The ladies are 80 years now. But when they were younger, they were three strong girls who just wanted to go home, because they missed their families. And they managed to walk the 1500 miles to Jigalong, and that is really impressive! The actors acted very convincing. I would like to recommend this movie for people who are interested in history, and people who just like to watch a good movie.
