    Sam, Dean, and Harry enter their hotel room in downtown Sydney. Three sailors on shore leave for the night before shipping off to Iraq in the morning, they each have a goal to accomplish. Sam is considering going AWOL after a horrifying incident on his last tour of duty. Dean is ...( read more)planning to meet up with his fiancée and her parents for dinner. And Harry just wants to drink, play cards, and get laid. After dumping their bags in the room and ordering some hookers to come back to later, they head out on the town. But the night doesn?t go as planned, and as the sailors get separated from each other, they come across a little more than they bargained for, and learn a lot about themselves along the way.

    Now, there are good performances, and there are great performances. Then, every once in awhile, an actor comes along who is so natural, you forget he is playing a character in a movie, and you feel like you are watching someone's real life unfold before your eyes. These types of performances rarely come from Hollywood, as almost every recognizable star betrays whatever character they are playing at some point in every movie they play simply because their face is too familiar. But Matthew Newton is a rare talent. And if that isn't enough, he's also a gifted writer and director, and he manages to get equally authentic performances from his entire cast, making Three Blind Mice a perfect film.

    Newton, along with Ewen Leslie and Toby Schmitz, are effortless in their ability to portray the sailors, each delivering a raw performance that you rarely see among young, overly-trained talent. These three Aussies look and feel genuine with every look and every line of dialogue. The smart script certainly helps, and perhaps the actors? longtime friendship does as well, as we really believe the sailors have a history and that they know each other better than they know themselves. I?m excited to see what each of them does next, and hope they have big futures. Even if they become recognizable stars, they each have the skill to deliver fresh and new performances for years to come.

    EXcellent if you like Australian dialogue driven movies. Mathew Newton wrote, starred and directed this and it has a who's who of Aussie co-stars.

    I normally really like Aussie movies. This was terrible. I did not like a single character. Blech.
