In an outback town, Jay Swan, an Indigenous cowboy detective, returns home to solve the murder of a teenage Indigenous girl whose body is found under the highway trucking route out of town. Jay is alienated from both the white-dominated police force and the Indigenous community, including his teenage daughter, whom he discovers is connected to the murdered girl. Starring Aaron Pedersen, Hugo Weaving, Jack Thompson, Ryan Kwanten, and Tasma Walton, MYSTERY ROAD is a gripping murder mystery with a cultural perspective.

Downloaded and watched it over the weekend. Not too bad at all. And a [i]cultural perspective[/i] for the handwringers amongst us. ๐Ÿ™‚

Excellent. The amateurish critic in me is tempted to describe it as hardboiled film-noir, words I wouldn't ordinarily associate with Australian cinema.

The IMDB score is stingy.

Ah, glad you enjoyed it. The ending (no spoilers) was pretty cool - kinda how I reckon one of those things might play out in real life. ๐Ÿ™‚
