“The director recaptures his fluid handling of dusty tough-guy dynamics while succinctly revisiting weighty thematic strands…”Read the full review here: http://screen-space.squarespace.com/reviews/2016/6/8/goldstone.html
**Two cops with the same motive, dealing it differently.**When I saw the first film a couple of years ago, I did not think they would make a sequel. It looked kind of a one-off film, but I’m very happy for this and I’m sure there will be another one. There’s no mention of ‘part 2’ in the title, so people might end up watching this without knowing there’s one before this. But it’s good to name a film according to the plot/story. Those who saw the original will be familiar with the characters and the story narration, so they will know what to and how much to expect.
This is my first film of the 2017. I don’t believe in such sentiments, but I think its a great start and hoping to watch many more good ones. Now coming to the film plot, it continued from the previous. After the successful first assignment as a detective, Jay Swan is sent to another small mining town to deal with a missing person case. Seems no ones are happy on his arrival, including the local cop. But his doubts about how the powerful people misusing their power makes a cop named Josh to act instantly.
Almost 2 hour long film, narrated with a slow pace. Thus far of the tale are developed steadily. Since the Josh gets into investigating, the people with illegal business starts to feel the heat. Meanwhile, Jay learns a few things about his people from an old local indigenous man. Josh and Jay, they both make a progress, which leads to a step away to solve the multiple cases. The final quarter turns into an action film and leaves a big open to the story to continue.
> “And they follow the same god. Money god.”
That’s what I disliked. Being a long film and not able to finish it off properly makes it fall behind quite a bit long distance from the original film. But I still enjoyed it. Those locations were well used to tell the story. In fact, it kind of reminded me another detective film ‘Jesse Stone’. The opening scene from this as well, kind of similar, like being drunk while arriving in a new town. Unlike that film, this is not a television film and high quality film from all the aspect. It is also considered one of the best Aussie film of the year. So if you are a film fanatic, you should not miss it.
Directed by the same director and once again he managed the multiple tasks, like handling camera, editing, music and script. Predictable story, but it’s not about the story, it’s how the story was presented. The actors did help with that part to accomplish what the filmmaker wanted. Aaron Pederson was awesome, and now he’s one of my favourites from down under. I hope like all the Aussie actors, he would also get a chance to work in Hollywood projects.
The case was not detailed for us. We learn Jay is working to find the missing girl, but no flashbacks or any other kind of revelations. At some point it gives out the result in a simple, but heart wrecking way. It’s more a realistic in revelation going forward than giving hints for the viewers to make predictions. Like I said, it’s not as good as the first film, that’s only because of the ending. I’m also not sure the same story would continue in the next part.
The way it concluded might not be complete, but it is something different than the usual solution in a cop film. So you have to accept the fact than complaining it. Other than that, I’m sure it is one of the best detective films. The films, both the installments were not internationally recognised so well, but it definitely deserves that honour. It might take years people come to know, though I hope you would check it out after reading this review, only if you haven’t seen it yet. Recommended!

As dark as Mystery Road…. Is this redemption?
I found this film by accident as I didn’t realise that they had made a sequel to the very intriguing and dark Mystery Road.Our lead is sent on a case again in the middle of nowhere in Australia, but he is a wreck (not surprising when you look back on the first film). Anyhow, he ends up having to liaise with a local cop who is passive on all the ills he sees round him, and each is a foil for the other. There is mass corruption and life to some others is worthless, or local cop can end up in either direction, especially as he takes an emotional investment in the goings on of Human Trafficking of young Chinese women.
So what we have is a case of redemption. Will the local cop leave the world as it is, or challenge the immorality? Everyone else seems to just play along, but our lead says no! Will the local cop back him or not?
Like the first film, this is sumptuous, and the real star is the glorious cinematography, which contrasts the dark heart of the human soul. Yet we have hope in it all.
Our lead is as intriguing as ever, and his own failings are something that endear you to him. I’m very happy they made this film, as we continue the journey. There’s a Mad Max element to the lead character & story (albeit no fantasy), but it’s still violent and unforgiving.
Again, this is a case worth investigating, and I can’t wait to the next film in this series. Very dark yet very beautiful to watch, there’s a heart in this movie and you will find it. Deserves better than the ratings so far have given it credit for.
Strogn themes, great backdrop, but a little pedestrian
‘Goldstone’ is an Australian drama set in the outback, and featuring a story centred on the relationships between the mining industy, corrupt local officials, and the often abused indigenous population. It’s basically a strong movie, and the scenery is harsh and stunning, but the direction often feels pedestrian, failing to convey tension in the action scenes, and the motivation of its central character, a rogue detective who turns up drunk, is a little underdeveloped. If you like it, watch ‘Mystery Road’, a recent television series featuring the same central character and similar themes (there’s also another movie in the series with the same name).
