It's Constable Shane Cooper's (Ryan Kwanten) first day on the job in the town of Red Hill, Australia (I don't know what state and I'm too lazy to look it up). It's not going well. He's misplaced his gun in one of the moving boxes, his new boss (Steve Bisley) is kind of a hardass, he doesn't know where anything is, there's no extra car so he has to ride Old Beth, and oh yeah, an escaped convict named Jimmy Conway (Tommy Lewis) has come back to wreak vengeance on the town that sent him to prison.
This was a damn good revenge Western. If you've only ever seen Kwanten in True Blood, he's much more than just a pretty face, but this movie belongs to Tommy Lewis. He says precisely seven words in the entire runtime. Everything else is conveyed through his facial expressions, no easy feat when half of it is burn scar prosthetics. It's streaming for free on Tubi but it's absolutely worth buying if you're into Westerns at all.
