Hugh Jackman, a real live Ausie, slips seamlessly into the character of a hot-blooded man with the heart of a lion. Acting along slide Nicole Kidman who remains a strong steadfast woman throughout the film portraying an English lady come abroad to investigate property in the land down under. The connection between the characters carries into every scene riding with the epic proportions of the plot. This film, in its 165 minutes literally has everything: romance, action, comedy, tragedy, and a Hollywood ending with a bittersweet flavor. It is understandable that many critics leave their viewing unsatisfied; this film does not offer more the entertainment and emotion evocation and eye candy, but it does so exquisitely.
