In northern Australia at the beginning of World War II, an English aristocrat inherits a cattle station the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn stock-man to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.

Great story of an elderly man, Abner Meecham, put into a nursing home by his son. He is depressed by the place and runs away, heading back to his farm. When he arrives he finds another family (Choates) has leased the farm from his son and intends to buy it. Meecham acts his ornery self in an effort to drive the Choates from the farm. Lorenzo Choate and Meecham engage in a brutal battle of wills that shows the lengths to which desperation and the need to hold on to the past will drive men to actions most would consider tragic. Holbrook and McKinnon are both magnificent and Barry Corbin plays well as Meecham's only friend. Very well done and engrossing.
Overall, a great film with a great cast. The conflict between Abner (Hal Holbrook)and Lonzo (Ray McKinnon)ranges from hilarious to dangerous, which always makes you wonder what each of the men are going to do next to get back at each other. I loved the relationship between Abner and Pamela (Mia Wasikowska) as it transformed from the little-girl-bothering-the-old-coot to grandpa-figure-protecting-the-younger-generation. Overall, I felt the movie was well done. For me, I was slightly disappointed with the ending. I was expecting more to come from the conflict. In the end, this is a film I would suggest others to see if they want to see a film that's both comedic and thriller/action.
A slightly slow first act is the only thing I can hold against this fine film. Abner is set up as the stalwart hero, but that unravels with every flashback. Lonzo is set up as the no-account interloper, but that unravels with every shot of him staring at failure creeping up on him or doing a good turn. Everyone in this is excellent, reserved and poignant and complicated. The scenery is idyllic, and it looks like a peaceful place to fight over and it must be hard for anyone to walk away from such a place or such a fight.
Brilliant movie... Holbrook is as ever stellar, and turns in a beautiful nuanced performance here, and Ray McKinnon (the Reverend from Deadwood) is fantastic. 2 flawed main characters - with whom do you sympathize? McKinnon's Choat is a bastard alright, but his family are good and kind. Holbrook's Meecham just wants his home back, but he's no saint either. Walton Goggins (also starring as Holbrook's son) and Ray McKinnon's production company are behind this and I'd love to see more from them.
