Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe closing titles mention the term "In like Flynn" but do not give the context. Errol Flynn was able to charm his way into and out of any situation and he had a reputation for being extremely good at it. To be in like Flynn meant to be totally assured of success.
In the 1960s, this expression evolved into an actual movie character, Derek Flint, in the spy spoof films Our Man Flint (1966) and In Like Flint (1967).
- GoofsThe Sirocco did not sink on a reef as depicted in the film. In fact, the yacht is still in use today.

Featured review
This film is a moderately low budget film that uses the 2010s social lens that describes an historical incident. Applying patches of modern irrationality does not help make a good historical film.
The story is interesting in that it captures some of the events and the culture from the era. Australia was only founded a few decades earlier and this movie captures pockets of that cultural ruggedness you'd expect.
Where the movie lets itself down is in the portrayal of Achun (Grace Huang) who should not have been let near a camera. If she had researched an Australian vagabond like Tilly Devine she may have had some idea that tough women of that era didn't run around pushing girl power or behaving like Achun does. The performance of Rose (Isabel Lucas) was almost as misguided. I watched this movie to see William Moseley in action and it was reasonable. David Wenham playing Christian Travers was great fun. There were also solid moments from Clive Standen (Charlie) and Thomas Coquerel (Errol Flynn) who were both solid performers.
The Australian film industry needs a shakeup. It needs to take more risks and it needs to stop pandering. This film doesn't satisfy anyone. The last decade has not been a positive step.
