The Cowra Breakout Audience Reviews

Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
