Description

A cult favorite of Australian neo-noir, Goodbye Paradise is a sharp, sunburnt thriller that blends political satire, mystery, and offbeat humor. Ray Barrett stars as Michael Stacey, an ex-cop turned whistle-blower and reluctant private eye, drifting through Queensland with a hangover and a cynical outlook. But when an old friend’s daughter vanishes, Stacey is pulled into a bizarre conspiracy involving a free-love cult, a shadowy paramilitary group, and a radical plot to seize control of the state. Also starring Robyn Nevin, Lex Marinos, Grant Dodwell, Paul Chubb, Kris McQuade, and Mark Hembrow, what begins as a simple missing persons case soon spirals into a world of corruption, danger, and deception. As powerful enemies close in and bodies start piling up, Stacey must navigate a landscape where loyalty is fleeting, and the truth is as elusive as a cool breeze on a Queensland summer day.

    Goodbye Paradise

    Got a recommendation not to miss out on this one.

    A Neo Noir from down under.

    Tongue in cheek and has layers of Aussie politics in it.

    Ray Barrett as ex-Cop Michael Stacey alone is worth the price of the BD.

    Charming Ozplotation.

    Enjoyable even if you haven´t got a clue about politics.

    Great extras.

    Highest recommendations.

    Successfully brings forth all the

    Successfully brings forth all the required beats you'd expect of pulpy noir novels and transplants them to the bright and garish Gold Coast. Barrett is endlessly charming, delivering pitch-perfect lines both in person and in voiceover, hitting the cheeky, alcoholic detective tones perfectly. The film runs entirely too long for its plot, though, eventually grasping at straws to keep some sort of convoluted mystery afloat, dimming the vibrant and energetic fun the first half delivers.
