Solid mystery with well developed characters and some surprisingly good acting (the son is above the cut). Definitely a film to watch on a week night.

This movie is reasonably intelligent, has decent acting, and is engaging enough. I think the lead made some emotional missteps, more to do with the script or direction than the actress. She's supposed to be eminently likable, but when she delivers a flippant line while stepping over her friend's body, I almost turned it off. This is for teens and older, which suits me great (in my 50s). I don't like high grit in my entertainment, and mostly watch mysteries. It's good to keep the age orientation in mind, because it has some silly parts. I sensed the hands of people who did Mr and Mrs Murder, and was right! (Do look up that show, it's wonderful.) Not a bad way to go if you don't have anything else more pressing on hand!

What a charming little movie! Such a nice change of pace - engaging characters, crisp script, beautiful scenery. All this and a touch of suspense. It was quirky and a lot of fun. The characters were eccentric and the relationships among them were interesting and fun. It was especially nice to see a 15 year old boy portrayed in a positive light. I wish the TV - Film industry would realize likability isn't a bad thing and they would stop making everything so dark.

I think this is a great story. A wonderful drama with some excellent twists. The script was tight and the performances were top rate. Georgie Parker, Vince Colossimo and the entire young cast were brilliant. It is so refreshing to see a super tight script under the direction of Peter Andrikidis. It sat perfectly in the who-dunnit genre with out being hackneyed. The Australian colloquialisms were very refreshing to hear. Well done to everyone involved. I also really liked the use of the mandolins in the score to under pin the mysterious, foreboding mood presented in the opening titles. I always it when the bad guy gets snake-bit. This is top rate TV

I do not usually associate Channel Ten with showing quality movies, at least not since Australia's number one movie buff; Bill Collins left Channel Ten in the early 1990's but when a friend ask me to tape the movie 'Emerald Falls' for him because a relative of his appeared in it as an extra, I was pleasantly surprised when the film started; the scenery, the sky diver and when the two main players, Joni Ferguson (Georgie Parker) a single mum and her teenage son Zac Ferguson (Tom Green) arrive at the Inn that Joni is buying, it became clear that that this movie was going to be better than just average. It didn't disappoint as the movie progressed and we discover sometime later that all is not right in 'Emerald Falls' with some dark secrets coming to light When Joni soon discovers that business is not as profitable as she had hoped for and a visit from her Bank Manager brings no comfort to her financial situation, new found friends provide a helping hand or are they? And when Dr Henry Forbes (Andrew McFarlane) is found death, Joni's teenage son, aspiring amateur sleuth Zac, decide to do some investigation of his own, only to discover some interesting facts involving various characters. The police are not impressed at first, but when Zac produces evidence indicating Steve Landers (Oliver Ackland) as the number one suspect, the police go in hot pursuit. Steve manages to escape, causing mayhem in the process and upsetting an engagement party who are enjoying themselves, dancing to beautiful Latin music, but luckily Zac is able to tell the police where Steve might be heading. As the story unfolds, we are treated to some breathtaking views with rugged tablelands, sheer cliffs, deep inaccessible valleys, swamps and some of the beautiful scenery that the Blue Mountains has to offer. For those people not living in Sydney or Australia; the Blue Mountains are named after the blue mist which comes from the ethereal oils of the eucalypt trees, it provides for a mysterious, surreal atmosphere and is a very popular tourist attraction. I also enjoyed the scene of the engagement party held at the Inn with its dancing and beautiful Latin music; a very entertaining addition. To sum it all up; a very pleasant and entertaining crime and mystery story, peppered with typical dry Australian humour, an excellent performing cast, beautiful scenery, photography, a lovely musical score and with good solid direction from Peter Andrikidis. It does have some adult themes however that would make it not suitable for viewing by children under the age of 14.

I liked the viewer comment contrasting this to the drama of the "Underbelly" series that a rival TV network in Australia has sought to make into mountain of propaganda for its ratings-driven network! Even though it's a good production, it's an imitation of the shadow of the quality of ABC Productions like the "Blue Murder" mini-series, based on NSW police corruption! Likewise trivial by comparison to the "Underbelly" multi-series, based on Victorian police corruption & murders, that Channel 9 seems to be milking for all the ratings they can get - same week replays - then monthly 4-hour straight replays! Both based on reality! That's apart from the "Wildside" over-dramatic production of over-action & over-noise in virtually every episode of hype but interesting none the less! But to return to "Emerald Falls", we have an interesting plot based on an encouraging mother & a son who reminds me of one of those 1950s kids portrayed in American movies, who is somehow always right, no matter how phoney the plot! It's entertaining but I felt I'd seen it all before in Agatha Christie type 'whodunnit' productions! If you are choosing between this & "Jindabyne", choose "Jindabyne"! But "Emerald Falls" is okay & worth a viewing.
