I'll pass on the movie, but the music is nice.

Ben Hall's exploits make for an interesting story and something a lot of us here cover in high school. The writer and director (and just about everything in-between) for this film has been trying to get this made for years. Even starting a Kickstarter campaign to raise money. So it's been done on a very low budget but looks pretty descent from what you can tell in the trailer. Looks alright and apparently is supposed to be historically accurate. So for an insight into the life of a bushranger and colonial life in early Australia I'll give it a viewing.
