6/10
not bad, not brilliant
26 June 2004
An Ok film, but suffers on too many occasions from the feeling that the story is standing still & going nowhere. Australian Rules could have well gone about five minutes less to improve its pacing.

There is nothing spectacular about film, the acting, direction cinematography, soundtrack are all solid & workman-like. No area of this film could be described as poor while at the same time no aspect of the film was particularly brilliant.

One thing I would like to congratulate the filmmakers on is their dramatic representation of the game of Australian Rules Football. Very rarely is the sport film & edited in a way that truly shows the way the game is played. the filmmakers must be congratulated on producing some dramatic re-enactments of Aussie Rules.
