CUT SNAKE SPARRA AND POMMIE MOVIE

No overly explicit scenes were being used. I appreciated the subtlety with regard to how everything was imaged. An experiment where some of the viewers will have second thoughts about. The twist incorporated in the film is not without a risk. On the other hand it’s a rather bold melodramatic love story. On the one hand it’s a simple crime film. “ Cut Snake” is an indie with a two-faced character. And if you’re wondering what the film title exactly means, then I suggest you look up the Australian statement “mad as a cut snake”. Clothing, vehicles and used soundtrack fit perfectly. The whole film is made in the outspoken style from the 70’s. The film is set in the 70s and situated in an Australian town near Melbourne. An ordinary guy who appeared out of nowhere in Paula’s life and whose dark past remained hidden until Pommie appeared on the scene.Īnd you thought it was just about two dudes who loved crime …. In contrast to the terrifying face of Stapleton, Alex Rusell has an angelic face.

CUT SNAKE SPARRA AND POMMIE MOVIE

Even though it appears from the outset it’s heading for a typical crime film, the movie makes an unexpected twist, changing it into a very different mood. And he himself will end up in an inner conflict. Unerringly if unwittingly, Sparra is sucked into a destructive spiral of aggression and violence. A burly, heavily tattooed and intimidating appearance whose uncontrollable rage suddenly breaks out and then quickly disappears. Pommie is the type of figure who makes you feel a little uneasy instantly. What certainly stands above the rest in this film is the acting of Sullivan Stapleton. It’s safe to say that “ Cut Snake” is a melodramatic thriller. What follows is a complex and tumultuous love triangle. Sparra has resolutely opted for the ordinary life with his fiancee Paula ( Jessica De Gouw).Even a poorly paid job can’t convince him to go back to a world of crime. As it becomes clear that Sparra has chosen to walk the right path, this throws a spanner in the works. At first it seemed Pommie had traced his partner in crime just to convince him to pick up the thread on a criminal level. I didn’t expect those two former prisoners to have a connection on a whole different level.

The two main characters Jim “Pommie” Stewart ( Sullivan Stapleton) and Mervyn “Sparra” Farrell ( Alex Rusell) shared a grim past. The denouement was even extremely predictable. Even though “ Cut Snake” put me on the wrong track at a certain moment, the film in general wasn’t really surprising. I was pleasantly surprised already a few times after discovering a film from Down Under. My expectations are pretty high strung whenever I encounter an Australian movie again. He has found honest work and even becomes engaged but the prospect of this new life is challenged when his foreboding and charismatic cell mate Pommie tracks him down upon his own release. Set in Melbourne in the mid-1970s, Cut Snake tells the story of Sparra Farrell, an ex-convict who is trying to make a new life for himself in a new city.
