This is a great, really gritty Australian film. Supposedly Western Australia's biggest independent film ever.The Decadent and Depraved" follows the journey of Murphy (former "McLeod's Daughters" star, Ben Mortley), a convicted murderer with a bounty on his head. He has surrendered himself to His Majesty's Army to ensure the safety of his family and is being transported by Captain Jack Dalton (played by A Country Practice star, Michael Muntz) to be hanged for his crime. Both men must survive the harsh and unforgiving terrain of the West Australian outback whilst fending off attacks from the many corrupt yet powerful men who desperately want to claim the bounty. It is continually violent and disturbing. But good acting and performances keep the viewer engaged. There is a side issue message about the evil of the colonisation of Australia by the White man which is rather apt for today's climate. A really enjoyable and promising first feature from Axel August and Jordon Pierce-Wright. Recommended.
