I just watched this and was expecting a deeper portrayal of a demented, simpleton who found power in violence. Maybe a smart, master manipulator perhaps. Someone with more confidence than morals. Of course. Eric Bana does great job. Saves the story. Yet, it was just a diary about a life of an idiot. Where was the analysis of his decent into crime and psychopathic behaviour? But what's the saddest thing, is that this evil character is portrayed as a hero and has become some sort cult figure and whats more, Australia's biggest selling author! That says a lot about it's nation surely. A nation whose history and heritage largely made up of convicts, and then this person becomes their hero. Sad. Very sad.
