4.0 out of 5 stars Blackrock DvD Jun 24 2004
By C. J. Linna
Format:DVD
Blackrock is a very powerful movie that can relate especially to teenagers and the troubles they can face. It is named Blackrock after the name of the town where a murder occurs on the beach. Jared is the main character and he is throwing a party for his best buddy, surf legend Ricko who has returned in town. However, when a girl is raped and murdered on the beach, Blackrock becomes a main site of publicity for the "Hoodlums" that live there. I bought this movie because I am a big fan of Heath Ledger and he plays a small role of the kid named Toby Ackland which he plays an also disturbing role of what I like to call "head rapist" This is a sad, but very touching film, and the soundtrack is awesome, I definatley recommend it to anyone who finds meaning out of movies as well as entertainment.

I watched blackrock, and found it to be one of the best films ever made. The acting is amazing, and the actor that plays dave, Brendan Donoghue, is an absolutely amazing actor, and is worthy of an emmy! He is such a fantastic actor, and he plays his part so well. i rate this 5 stars! the movie has a great script, and is great for australian acting. i definitley reccomend this movie to anyone.
