Review of Blue Murder

Blue Murder (1995)
8/10
Very powerful, Underbelly should bow before Blue Murder

Warning: Spoilers
Two supporting performances stand out in Blue Murder. Of course the main performance by Richard Roxburgh stands out as controversial NSW Police Force detective Roger Rogerson. But two supporting performances are of Steve Jacobs as one of Roger's sidekicks, and Loene Carmen as Sallie-Anne Huckstepp. When I saw Loene's performance I actually thought the producers were using real-life footage of Sallie-Anne Huckstepp, seriously, that was how compelling Loene's performance was.

Steve Jacob's acting is worthy of note. I must admit I thought it was Steven Jacobs, the youthful Aussie actor, who beefed up for the role, but Steven Jacobs is different to Steve Jacobs. The scene where Roger and his team threw the solicitor overboard was rather chilling and almost banal.

I look forward to the sequel called The High Road which will again feature Richard Roxburgh.
