30 years since Gregor Jordan's timeless Two Hands was released, how the storytelling of Sydney's underworld digressed so much in this period of time?
Sure, The Combination Redemption depicts the tribal suburban divide in Western Sydney.
But throughout it's a very predicable script,
and as for the dialogue, although sometimes It's funny and is real to life, its way over the top!! (more swearing isn't always better).
Ok, It's another film written and staring Basha for Australia's Lebanese communities.
But all this movie did was make me frustrated!
Sydney has everything, it can be it's own character in feature films, from its cultural diversity that is evident just by driving from suburb to suburb throughout Sydney, combined with its unforgettable landmark and beaches, the city can go from the best place on earth, to being by far the most dangerous place in Australia.
Sydney's identity is a perfect backdrop for a unique well scripted/directed crime feature, and Sydney needs an acclaimed crime feature, unfortunately The Combination Redemption isn't it.
