comments:
A couple more movies from
New Zealand.
The
Devil's Rock
(2011)
The
Devil's Rock is a thriller
set during World War II
where two New Zealand
soldiers are to infiltrate
Forau Island in the
Channel Islands to make a
raid on Nazi resources on
the island. But when they
get there, the German
soldiers seem occupied
with other things. Then
one of the soldiers is
killed by Nazi Colonel
Klaus Meyer (Matthew
Sunderland) and the other,
Captain Ben Grogan (Craig
Hall), is captured and
tortured for information,
which Grogan does not
give. A woman's screams
emanate from another part
of the building and when
Grogan escapes, he goes to
see where the screams are
coming from and eventually
finds they are coming from
Helena (Gina Varela),
Grogan's supposedly dead
wife. But, this is only
the half of it. Meyer
admits that the Nazis have
been dabbling in the
occult and that who Grogan
sees as Helena is actually
a demon conjured up by the
Nazis and that is tempting
Grogan so that she can
kill and eat him. As a
battle of wills occurs
between Grogan, Meyer and
the demon, it becomes a
battle for survival and
this is stacked against
Grogan when it becomes
clear that Meyer is using
Grogan for his own devious
means.
A very good little
thriller where it's
basically a battle of
wills between 3 beings
with each one hiding
something that maybe their
trump card. Had been
sitting on the movie for a
while, but when Jessica
Grace Smith turned up in
Home and Away, I looked up
what else she was in
(apart from Spartacus:
Gods of the Arena, I'm
fully aware of that) and
up popped The Devil's
Rock, which I had a copy
of. Sadly, Jessica is only
in the movie for 30
seconds in an after the
credits started scene, but
I enjoyed the movie
nonetheless. Wish I'd
gotten to it earlier.
The
Fall Guys
(2011)
The Fall Guys is a crime
caper thriller where three
best friends Kubrick (Ryan
O'Kane), Max (Kyle Pryor)
and Lucas (Dane Dawson)
are being interrogated by
Narcotics detective
Harrison (Paul Glover). It
seems that the three
friends have come across 3
cases of a pure heroin
which were left behind at
a massacre they have
stumbled onto. On the day
of Lucas's wedding, the
three friends recount
their part of the story
that started with them
innocently obtaining the
cases then quickly
escalates to every thug
and corrupt cop in the
district wanting a piece
of the action including
Harrison, who's seems to
be the dirtiest of the
lot. But, there is
something more at play
here and if the boys can
survive this, they might
not survive the wrath of
Lucas's wife-to- be
Schapelle (Amy Waller).
Playing from the same book
as most modern crime
capers, owing more than a
thanks to Guy Ritchie,
this low budget movie is a
bit stodgy but gets by
with enough eccentricity
and generally weird
moments that make it
fairly watchable. So, if
you're into these type of
movies, The Fall Guys is
definitely worth a go.
Plus it has a pre-Packed
To The Rafters Zoe Cramond
in it looking real cute (a
couple of vids of her
looking nice below), so
there's that. Sadly, she
doesn't appear in the
foursome scene. That
would've been real nice...
