About this movie

When JR (Brenton Thwaites) is sent to prison for a minor crime, he becomes the apprentice to Brendan Lynch (Ewan McGregor), Australia's public enemy number one. When JR helps Brendan break out, they go on the run and form a complex co-dependent relationship. JR quickly learns in the criminal world, life is like a game of chess. To gain control, you have to stay a few moves ahead of your opponent. Lose that control, and you risk becoming a pawn in their very dangerous game. 2013 SOAG Holdings Pty Ltd, Screen Australia, ScreenWest Inc. and Screen NSW

Great film.Lightly based on the escape by Brenden Abbott from Sir David Longland and the escape from Silverwater in the helicopter.As i said it is only lightly based.They have kinda meshed both escapes into the one escape.How they got some of the factual events correct is a mystery

Reminds me of some friends i had. Very good typical style of Aussie ways in this movie. We don't call anyone mate unless we mean it.
