Two part Aussie TV movie I've seen three times. Strength of the film is the relationship between the two charachers, one slick the other a goof.
I take this as a fictional story rather than an accurate portrayal of the background of the two young men who , the story will have you believe , got into this mess due to traffic accidents.
Julie Christie as the mother of the goof sounds exactly like a U S welfare horror demanding " justice " for her problem child.. The strongest moment in the piece comes near the end when the experienced smuggler, now about to die , convict looks with sadness upon the picture of his beloved dog whom he will never see again in this life.
You either get into the lives of the two guys or you don't. As good a drug smuggling film as there is and I've seen all of them.
