Following playing Ashley Stubbs in possibly the last ever episode of Westworld, Luke Hemsworth joins Heather Mitchell, Isabel Lucas and OG Blue Heeler Martin Sacks in Aussie feature film, Bosch & Rockit.
In the late summer along the Australian coast, Bosch, a young father goes on the run for drug dealing with his surf gang. In tow is his son, Rockit, who believes he is on a magical holiday.
The film has totally cute father and son vibes, even if the father is a criminal. Oh and a liar, also they may swear like a trooper.
Yep language warning for little Aussie film that can.
Based around Byron Bay and surrounds, this is an endearing film from Tyler Atkins. His childhood & early teens were defined, he says, by “making mistakes and being left at home and feeling sad and abandoned”.
Now 36, the former model & clothing designer (winner of season one The Amazing Race Australia) has told a version of his story in his debut feature film. Which we see the words, based on true events at the start of the film.
Atkins mother was out of the picture from the time he was four, and with his father also frequently absent, he was largely left to raise himself.
This was a sweet, well shot local film. The story is not a huge Hemsworth blockbuster, but packs a punch with emotion along with beautiful NSW scenery. Destination NSW would be proud of this film. Maybe just with less swearing!
3 Stars.
