Well paced, great core of good guys and a vast array of bad guys. Not a Guy Pearce fan previously but I am now. I really enjoyed the story andcespecially his partner in solving the crime Linda! Good suspense and the crew at the pub make the picture truly a gem.

A terrific and engaging mystery series from Australia that has a tremendous amount of style, suspense, dark humor and action. A full-on and extremely exciting Australian noir. A stunning and mesmerizing crime-drama. Guy Pearce creates one of his best characters ever in one of his most exciting performances. A thrilling piece of television. It's the real deal; great storytelling and great acting. Guy Pearce brings the late great Peter Temple's down at the heel gumshoe to life. I'll admit, when I first saw Pearce cast as Jack Irish I didn't buy it. But Pearce makes the character his own. Backed by a superb Aussie cast (special mention goes to Aaron Pedersen as the charismatic Cam) witty dialogue and some great Melbourne scenery, it's a must watch for anyone who likes stylish noir, well told.

I saw a bit of this years ago. I stumbled over the dvd set and pounced upon it. It is sort of detective series set in Australia. The lead is an ex lawyer who is now a private eye. I am not Australian and I am sure I miss a lot of the references but despite this I really rate this drama. Guy Pearce is the lead actor but the rest of the cast is good if unknown to non Australians. I am praising the 3 tv films starring Pearce,I understand that there was later a tv series with a different lead. The series might be great but I have not seen it. I give no plot spoilers but the stories give a compelling view of the underside of Australian society.

Guy Pearce works beautifully with his large and superb supporting cast in Jack Irish while very much being the laid- back centre of the show. It a truly collaborative effort in terms of performances and the script allows for this by sharing around some fabulous dialogue and one-liners. Marta Dusseldorp seems just right as Linda, smart, determined but vulnerable too. The direction is sharp and thoughtful, the design for locations and sense of place is outstanding, plus the pacing, which I would have thought would have driven the script writers up the wall in condensing from the labyrinth plots of the novel, just hums along. Special shout-out to Roy Billing (Harry) and the wonderful Aaron Pedersen (Cam) as Jack's racing skallywag mates: the three of them operate seemingly effortlessly together in this first outing for Jack Irish, very believable. And they keep to that high level in all the subsequent episodes.

This film starts with a hiss and a roar, which seems to fizzle out rather than go out with a bang. The acting is pretty good, with a decent story line to follow - also some funny one liners here and there. Too often it was difficult to keep up with who the main characters were talking about, as they often mentioned names of people we were expected to know, but didn't. Perhaps the film focuses a bit too much on the main character; viewing the story from more than one perspective could have given this film more depth. Found it interesting that all the leads he found during his detective work were more than eager to share information with a complete stranger, especially since the case he was digging up was a decade old and sensitive. Overall a good movie. Worth seeing once, but probably not again.

I watched this without being aware that it is based on a book. However, I an a fan of Guy Pearce and he played this role with his usual proficiency. The story and plot were solid and engaging, and the faint touches of humour gave a well-rounded polish to a low budget title which holds its own very well. The usual elements of a good thriller plot are there. The pub scenes were probably the best and certainly produced the most chuckles. If there was any complaint, it would probably be that Guy Pearce was too good looking for this role, and I felt that someone moodier and beefier might have done it more justice.

Been watching the Tom Selleck/Jesse Stone detective shows and I recently ran across some reviews of Jack Irish. So I picked up the 2 flicks and watched the 1st movie a couple of days ago. The acting was solid. The dialogue was engaging. The story was intriguing. The cast of characters had quirkiness, depth & believability and it was action packed and includes a topless female reporter!! The accents & colloquialisms & fast moving plot had me pausing a few times to reflect on what was going on. I should pick up on the Ozzie talk after I watch a few more. I liked the 1st Jesse Stone movie a fraction better than the 1st Jack Irish movie, BUT the 1st Jack Irish movie is better than some of the Jesse Stone sequels. Jack Irish is definitely worth watching!!!

Let me first say I am not Australian, The island I originate from is on a slightly smaller scale, the Isle of Man! I have read all the Peter Temple books excepting 'White Dog', which I have been unable to get anywhere and was delighted to see that a couple of Jack Irish novels have been transferred to the screen and although I started viewing with trepidation it was soon dispersed as the storyline was spot-on and the acting by all was superb. The characters are portrayed exactly as I imagined as are the various locations are not far off either, especially the pub! Let us hope that more of the novels are transposed to the screen with the same exemplary skill of all concerned. Now I am off to feast on 'Black Tide'.
