Jack Irish: Dead Point (2014 TV Movie)

Fell flat - too many inconsistencies

[2/10 · 15 April 2014]

Watched this with high expectations but was left very disappointed. Too many inconsistencies in the story, too many stereotypical characters. Jack Irish himself appears to be paid nothing yet lives in a beautiful converted warehouse, the silly car, the mate who appears to also not be usefully employed - come on. The daughter organises a hit on mum after she casually starts taking heroin whilst at school? Why even include this in the plot, it only took something away from the rest of the story? It looked good but was ultimately pretty cheap nonsense. Barry Humphries looked a little embarrassed to be involved at times and with good reason.
