Minnamurra

1989 · 93 min

A sunlit, old-fashioned outback romance with horseback chases and land-grab stakes, pleasant and earnest but rarely surprising.

Overview: Underrated leading man Jeff Fahey carries most of the dramatic weight of the Australian Wrangler. Fahey plays a handsome, athletic businessman who vies for the hand of rancher's daughter Tushika Bergen. Our hero must not only contend with his romantic rival, a dashing but dangerous cattleman, but also with a villainous creditor who craves the land left to Bergen by her late father. By nature of its plotline and setting, Wrangler can't help but invite comparisons to the popular The Man From Snowy River. Still, the stars and director Ian Barry keep up the appearances of freshness and originality
How it feels: Romantic, earnest, tense and warm. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, family, betrayal, survival
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
