Seven Snipers Review Introduction

As we continue to catch up on releases before the end-of-year onslaught happens, there is one Australian film from earlier this year that I wanted to get my eyes on. Conceptually, the idea of multiple snipers facing off against each other deep in the Australian bush is something that you have to see.  

So, to set the scene, Chris Hendrix (Radha Mitchell) lives deep in rural Australia with her daughter Anja (Annabel Wolfe). Chris is a little high-strung, which of course is perfect fodder for a rebellious teenager. However, Chris is not just some normal strict parent; she is a former special forces operator who has been living in hiding after antagonising the ruthless Dragon. But when a local real estate agent turns out to be an assassin, Chris realises that after decades, the Dragon has found her. Calling in backup, Chris hopes to get in front of this when her daughter runs away, and then the bodies start dropping.

TL;DR – This is an interesting, if overwhelming, exploration of the characters that we will be getting to know across the series.

Last Days of the Space Age Review –

One area that truly excites me is space, its exploration, and the history and impact that it has had on the world. Everyone can cite that one story about a pencil v pen in a spaceship or one small step for man, and that is this far removed in time from when it happened. What must the impact did those events have on the world in the years just after it happened? Well, in today’s series, we explore just that.

So, to set the scene, it is a tumultuous point in Perth’s history as several competing factors look to crash into each other just when the world’s spotlight is placed on the city. These fracture points are brought into stark highlight when a brick goes flying through the front windscreen of Tony (Jesse Spencer) and Judy Bissett’s (Radha Mitchell) as they travel at 60km an hour. How do you get on when you have a house divided? Now, from here, we will be looking at the episode as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
