This is a film that should be seen by everyone. A powerful movie that will stir almost every emotion you can think of, and sometimes all at once. Completely believable and compelling film that will hold you till the very end, and a long time after.

I have seen this movie too many times now and as serious and dark a movie this is, I cannot help but laughing through most of it. Jake the Muss is such a classic character and its sad to hear that the actor who is he portrayed by is doing it tough to get more work in the industry, whilst the actor who played Uncle Bully is being used a Mexican or an Arab in big Hollywood films.

**The power and importance of cultural roots.**

This was the first New Zealand film I saw, at least as far as I remember and am aware of that. It's a violent film, with a raw brutality that shocks us by how authentic it sounds. Domestic violence? Child rape? It's not something you only see in the More
