TELL THEM LUCIFER WAS HERE (UNDERBELLY FILES)

Tell Them Lucifer Was Here is part of the "Underbelly: Files" spin off from the Underbelly franchise. Normally I wouldn't include tv shows in this group but the Underbelly Files are presented as 90 minute movies... and hell, the dvd menu says "Play Film". hehehe. 

It tells the story of the murder of police officers Gary Silk and Rod Miller. Anyone my age will remember the murders vividly. I particularly remember it because I spent a lot of my youth riding my bike up and down Cochrane's Road in Moorabbin (where they were killed). Anyway this film is about the investigation that followed. I thought it was great. The production and period felt authentic and the performances were solid, particularly Greg Stone as Bandali Debs. 

I loved the first Underbelly series but the second and third were really average.. so its great to see these smaller feature length episodes so well made. I'll be watching the other 2 some time soon. Fingers crossed for the upcoming 4th series which tells of the razor gangs in Sydney circa 1920s. But that's TV so I digress... LOL
