Jasmine Yuen Carrucan's 'Cactus' (2008)

I really enjoyed cactus and its landscapes and cinematography. This film was really beautify shot in the surrounding landscape. The best moment in this film for me was when the sheriff Rosco shoots John in the shoulder then in the chest to replicate the death of Thommo. I did think Thommo's death scene could have been done a bit better as the actor Shane Jacobson kept moving his eyelids and this really did not convince me that he was dead, and i was wondering for the rest of the film if he was not actually dead. The ending was for this film good i loved the way the money was given to the family and we get to see how nice the Eli character was in repaying his debuts, as well as not really finding out who Eli is being sent to and where he is getting dropped off. I also liked the high powered rife as well as the overall use of props and design characteristics. I loved the fact that Eli tried to use what was around him to escape like the bolt in the door and the can lid. As well as this the continuity was excellent sure there will be a couple of errors here and there but for me the roll up on the windscreen clinched it, though it may have moved slightly. As well as this the millage clock was an interesting shot, i got what it was therefore and how it tied into the movie but i was still left wondering what was the point of it. I mean the Km he has to travel is also listed on the map so isn't it a bit of overkill?. As for locations this movie was excellent in portraying the Australian outback and the remoteness of it all.
