A bounty hunter (Simon Baker) and an indigenous Australian (Jacob Junior Nayinggul) hunt down the leader of an Aboriginal mob terrorising Northern Territory in this Australian Outback-set period thriller.
Inspired by true events, this 1930s-set action thriller sees Travis (Baker) cross paths with Gutjuk (Nayinggul) years after he saved him from being killed by white men as a child. Together as they track Gutjuk's uncle who leads a ruthless mob, Travis is forced to trust Gutjuk with Gutjuk now treading a dangerous line between being the friend of a white man while keeping the trust of his people.

This may be fictionalized narrative, but it honors its ugly patch of history by refusing to treat it with much in the way of twisting sensationalism.

Screen Daily
In the magnetic Nayinggul, superb as the boy on the brink of manhood who must choose whether to reject anger or embrace it, the film showcases a notable new talent.

Sydney Morning Herald
To call it a timely film would be simplification. It's timeless -- a classic Australian account of the damage done by rampant colonialism.
