Nouvelle-Zélande, 1870. Te Wheke, un éclaireur des troupes coloniales, retrouve sa tribu massacrée par l'armée pour laquelle il travaille. Trahi et étreint par la douleur, il jure d'infliger le même châtiment – Utu – aux Pakeha (les Néo-Zélandais d'origine européenne)... (La Rabbia)
Critiques (2)
A standard adventure story with decently executed fight scenes, but the film doesn't offer much beyond that. Murphy, the director, at least got some decent training for shooting the fight scenes in The Lord of the Rings, as an assistant director.

I didn't have too many expectations for this film because I'm not particularly fond of movies about indigenous peoples, but this surprised me in terms of how well it's shot. I got a copy of not very good quality, as it can be quite challenging to obtain certain movies. Even the poor image quality couldn't hide the fact that this is strong in various aspects and extremely confident in all moments.
