Director: Morgan O'Neill

Stars: Colin Friels, Bojana Novakovic, Vince Colosimo

Barrett works for a group of businessmen known as 'The Gentlemen'. They operate within the fertile realm of the Sydney underworld. Now he's 53 years of age and needs to get out of Sydney. Out of the game. Which of course is easier said than done.

I was out in Sydney during their Film Festival and just happened to see "Solo" being advertised at this cool little cinema down by the Opera House called the Dendy. I went and checked it out and have to say enjoyed myself thoroughly right the way through with some turns in the Movie that caught me off guard.

The Aussie humour I dig so much and this movie captured it in spades. Found out later that the dude who made this film had won project greenlight and it was his first feature. This guy will go places and I'm looking forward to the next flick he brings out as I love that edge he created in Solo and I love a movie that I walk away thinking I should've seen it coming but I just got blindsided.

Top Marks from me! Well done.
