Blackrock (1997)

Member Rating:

The Australian coastal community of Blackrock goes into an uproar after the badly beaten, gang-raped corpse of a 15-year-old girl is discovered after an all-night beach party goes out of control. As the moral outrage heats up, the sole witness to the crime, 17-year-old surfer Jared Kirby (who organized the shindig to celebrate the return of surfing guru Ricko) is left with the wrenching decision whether or not to rat on his friends. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Won several awards in Australia. The subject matter sounds familiar but this story is imaginative. The film presents an unwavering point of view from the characters themselves, taking you all over the place emotionally. There are a few sore spots here and there that make you nervous. Stay the course. The true-to-life surf scene atmosphere, music, and backdrop brought me right back to my growing up in Southern California. Australia is so similar to California. I guarantee the story won't go exactly as you expect. There are some surprises. Heath Ledger has a small, yet crucial part which he does very well. This really is quite a unique film. The rock music is great! There is a casual feel to the level of effort in many parts of the film. It seem to go with the seaside culture and the nature of the characters. I highly recommend this. If you enjoy an emotionally affecting movie this is it. If you are a squirrel, forget it.

Small film aboot how a surfer dude feels after witnessing a rape and how he deals with it. Not fantastic, not bad, kinda right there in the middle. Great rock music and soundtrack. -Stone
