PRODUCT REVIEWS

Inspired by actual events in New Zealand in 2007, Muru follows Taffy Tawharau (Cliff Curtis), a local Police Sergeant who spends his days helping others. While being a Sergeant, he takes care of his unwell father and helps with driving a local bus that takes kids to school. One day, Taffy makes several discoveries while driving the local bus. These discoveries raise various questions, and he becomes suspicious of what could be stirring within his community. We also discover that the Government is beginning to assemble armed men and prepare for a raid into Taffy's community. When Taffy discovers that the Government are reacting to rumours caught on secret recordings taken by undercover officers, he works to shed light on the dark rumours. He finds out that the government has been watching and spying around the community. Taffy shuts down their findings, claiming the recordings are a simple misunderstanding and recordings of ‘bush talks’. Now, the government requests Taffy's help to seek out the truth. For Taffy, getting all the facts will be challenging as he'll be forced to choose between his people and the task asked of him. Muru is best described as a drama film. To clarify, while the film is based on actual events, it is focused on the details and reasoning as to what led to the event rather than the event itself. The views and accuracy of the information contained in this production are not endorsed or supported by the New Zealand Police. Muru is not a re-creation of past raids against the people- it's a response. Cliff Curtis brings an outstanding performance to the screen as Taffy. His character is highly likeable, with compassionate moments, especially when we see he has a big heart for everyone around him, consistently putting others first. Muru is visually striking, and the dramatic story is displayed wonderfully. Moments of tension are depicted well, and emotions from the various characters are emphasised powerfully by the third act. It's impossible not to feel throughout this film for those affected. While the film isn't a full-on action movie, there are extremely impressive moments, such as the use of helicopters and surprising car crash sequences. Overall, this is a heartbreaking yet touching film. It reminds the world that it only takes a small spark for terror to occur at any moment. Visually, this film successfully captures a powerful story that feels real. For the most part, performances are also great, with actor Cliff Curtis bringing a likeable character to the screen who is both strong-willed and compassionate towards others. While Muru is relatively slow to begin with, the various situations and characters in the first act need to be introduced. Thankfully, there is an intense and dramatic climax here if viewers can stick with it, and many moments are unexpected and touching. * This review has been written for Sanity.
