Reviews

In spite of a few shortcomings, I mostly liked The Convert. Firstly, there's Australian actor, Guy Pierce. Pierce who is, in my opinion, fantastic. Its been quite a while since I've seen him in anything, I'd personally consider worthwhile, so this film made for a welcome change. Another upside, is a reasonable, if overcooked story (I'll come to that) which offers insights into early colonial life in New Zealand. In particular, it taps into the conflict between Maori tribes (the native people) and the newly arrived colonists. It's not a bad tale but as is often the case, it overplays its hand. The colonists are depicted as largely narrow minded, racist bigots. Its fair to say there was indeed racism (and still is). Its also true, however that the reason there are no pure Maori left in New Zealand, is because they integrated with the new arrivals.Its a bit hard to overstate the race card, when you stop to consider this fact. That said, there remains a heck of a lot to like here. Great performances, convincing characterisations and action that's a little implausible, at times, but still well done and generally entertaining. In summary, The Convert, in spite of a few shortcomings, is a quality production, that's definitely worth a look.
