The Postcard Bandit
Dubbed
by the media as “The Postcard Bandit”, Brendan Abbott was rumoured to
send postcards of his travels to the police chasing him. He is one of
the most colourful and notorious criminals to raise the blood pressure
of every Australian cop – and at times, even attract their grudging
admiration.
This
tale that is loosely based on a true story features Tom Long as Brendan
Abbot who left police a trail of postcards from where he just performed
a criminal activity. Although the ending is already known before the
movie finishes, Long does a brilliant job at playing this foolhardy
criminal who loves to tease the authorities. An entertaining Australian
tale that is recommended to Australian movie buffs!
The
audio and video quality of this tale feature clear and sharp images with
Dolby Digital 2.0, unfortunately no extras are included on this release
of the movie.
