2 stars (Good Try) Certainly Bruno Lawrence's finest hour. Worth watching if you have spare time & an interest in Horopito! Crass, but not boring. ~Sandy
2 stars (Good Try) The screenplay does have an NZ 80s feel to it but the screenplay does not "brake" on any new ground. The "Making of" is quite good. ~Tubbs
