Review by anonymous (posted on 25-Mar-2006)

Breaker Morant is a powerful courtroom drama based upon the true story of three Australian soldiers during the Boer War. It is a well directed, beautifully made movie, with first rate performances. Starting with the main characters already on trial, the story is told in flashbacks. As part of an irregular unit raised especially to counter Boer guerillas, the main characters are informed by their English captain of new orders received from the British High Command to execute their prisoners. The Australians carry out the orders, but are later charged with murder after their captain is killed in battle.
