"What are you going to do now?"
Nick Cave has a way with stories, and I especially like the Murder Ballads. This is a song writ large, made powerful by upscale. And it's fine. But as a storyteller, Cave works better as a narrator than scriptwriter - the dialogue works fine as the screen interpretation of a modern fable, but not as a work of cinema in its own right. Meaning you have to take many liberties watching it, lest you be sucked into the hyper-realism of it all. Because it has much more to offer than entertainment - it has a story to tell.
Just don't ask David Wenham to tell it, at least not in his English accent :)
