When the landslide happened the last thing on anyone's mind was that 5 years down the track we would be watching the same event's unfolding before our eyes being replayed in a telemovie.
Craig McLaughlin as Stewart Diver is an interesting choice but he does the role justice. The only problem is that he doesn't look the role because everyone in Australia has seen Stuart Diver's face in the paper 100 times over and would instantly know him if they passed him in the street.
This event in Australian history is like our Kennedy assassination... everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when it happened. I remember spending 3 days glued to the television and been drawn to tears when Stuart Diver's face rose out of the rubble. Truly amazing.
I give this movie a 7 out of 10 because it is so accurate in detail that you almost think you are looking at the real thing but a lot of detail is left out in the final product.
