Two reasons to watch this film - the cinematography which captures the fantastic essence of the Australian outback (some angles are absolutely breath-taking, hats off to the director of photography), and the extremely ruthless and vile Mick Taylor. It's like the film picks off right from where part 1 ended, and for the first 30 minutes you are excused from thinking which one character is actually the lead one?! The game of cat-and-mouse continues all through the film, and by the time you actually start to feel some sympathy for the lead character, it's all over.

No prizes for guessing who comes out on top.

Among the highlight scenes is one fantastic sequence which might incur the wrath of PETA (unless it's a CGI-fied one), when hundreds of kangaroos suddenly "feel" the need to cross the road during a desperate chase sequence, and many get slaughtered and plastered by a 22-wheeler truck.

Recommended.
