Movie Reviews of Rat Tamer (Full)
Movie Review: Rat Tamer indeed
Summary: 4 Stars
Good early work by Hugh Jackman that just left me wanting to know the rest of the story. This is a pilot for an Australian TV show that can't be bought in the US. Lots of subplots and side stories going on here too, so if you're only interested in Jackman you're going to be skipping forward a lot, like I did.Movie Review: Watch it for Furness's portrayal
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this because I'm a Hugh Jackman fan (who isn't?), and it's marketed as a Hugh Jackman film, but that's just marketing. See it, but see it because of the ensemble, not just Jackman. It was the pilot for an Australian series starring Jackman's future real-life wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. It's clearly "TV," not big screen. But Furness is positively luminescent; her acting is straight and true, she's gorgeous but still "real." One can see why Jackman totally fell for her. I recently saw her in Jindabyne (2006) and she's simply an excellent actress, well worth watching. Jackman is there, but doesn't get to flex his acting muscles the way he does in later stuff. William Zappa, as an emotionally tortured prison guard, is so believable you both ache for him and want to punch him out. Unfortunately their technical advisors didn't bother to research the real way pros hold handguns, but oh well. I suggest renting it.Movie Review: Save your time, watch something else
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a HUGE Jackman fan and had high expectations of his first on-screen appearance. Jackman did have pretty good acting but he was not the main character and thus was only in limited scenes. I was not impressed by the performances of the rest of the cast nor did I find the plot particularly engrossing. You will be better off watching an episode of Law & Order.
