Mighty Thong re-union gig 2008 ??? … stay tuned

Sorry, but this left a prickly taste in my mouth. Cactus is the story of kidnapping and the relationship that develops between the two parties as they traipse across the NSW outback. Why? Where to? and Who is behind this all remain a mystery? Unfortunately it suffers the newbie filmmaker problem of not enough spent on the script, in particular the abrupt conclusion.
As far as I was concerned the star was the 1972 XA Fairmont. Travis McMahon and David Lyons explore the trials and tribulations of the kidnapper/ victim but may have been more at home on a theatre stage. Bryan Brown excels at playing Brian Brown dressed up in a policeman’s outfit as he has done many times before. Shane “Kenny” Jacobson makes a brief appearance as a Road Train driver and threatens to provide some much needed plot thickening but only has a very limited role.
