Howdy! I'm the ever "popular" Australian teenager who loves old things. Anyway, I have only watched a bit of this film, But I'm giving it 5/5 since almost no Aussie silent films still exist. Plus the Australian Film and Sound Archive claims copyright on the surviving silents, So it's almost impossible to see 'em. Of course, American's may be puzzled at why Australians have criminals as national heros. But really, If you are sick of mainstream Hollyweird blockbusters and cliche "indie" movies, Then check this out!
