Tom Selleck plays Matthew Quigley, the cowboy hero in this traditional Western, set very untraditionally in Australia. After some macho silliness in the opening minutes, the story settles into a surprisingly evocative tale of Quigley, a sharpshooter who had come to the country to work for a land baron (Alan Rickman) and who is on the mend after a brutal attack. In the company of a woman (Laura San Giacomo) abused by that same baron, Quigley gets his strength and his shooting skills back while healing in the midst of aboriginal people as well as some stunning Australian settings. Director Simon Wincer (Phar Lap) brings a lot of integrity to this rare horse opera from contemporary Hollywood. --Tom Keogh

A classic yet, nontypical western favorite........2007-08-30
This is a story of Quigley going to Australia to what he thinks is a job opportunity shooting dingos off a ranchers land, because he's possibly the best marksman in the world. Upon arriving to the ranch, he realizes he's actually been employed to kill the native aborigional people. In a not so polite way, his right hand refuses the job, is beaten by henchmen, and left in the outback to die with some hot but very crazy gal. He is then saved by the very native people he was hired to erradicate, and decides to make his way back to the ranch to stop the rancher and his goons from killing innocent people further. But the real gem of the movie lies in the way this simple story is told, the sound of his rifle, and the great dialogue comming from Tom Sellecks perfect performance.
I've watched this movie about 10 times. I know what's going to happen every minute of it. But somehow, I can't seem to grow tired of it. I love the look, the dialogue, the hero, the villains, that damn rifle/cannon he packs around, and Tom Selleck Blasting bad guys away from the next county with said rifle.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, you could be missing out on one of the greatest, yet nontypical westerns of all time in my opinion. I recommend watching this movie with a stereo that has a decent subwoofer, that way the crack and boom of the Sharps rifle he fires off throughout can be appreciated fully.
Great Movie.......2007-08-23
My order for Quigley Down Under is new shape and was shipped very quickly. I am A+ happy over this movie.
Very Different.......2007-08-15
If you like westerns but are tired of the same old story lines you should check this out. It's very funny and adults will enjoy it but it would be fine for kids to view too. Enjoy!
Not the correct region for DVD players.......2007-07-03
DVD arrived promptly and in good order, however, due to Australia being in the Oceania region our DVD players cannot play US type DVDs. Amazon did warn me that this was a possibility - however, no option was given by Amazon to choose a DVD for this region - Oceania. I am stuck with a DVD I cannot watch
Two of My Favorite Stars.......2007-05-07
Classic Western in a new setting. The stoic cowboy and the damsel in distress Down Under. It is always a good evening when watching the interactions of the cowboy and the 'crazy lady'.
From the beginning when he rescues her and she 'latches onto him' as her protector, right to the end when she.... Well... that would be telling.
It has all the right mixtures, The Good Guy, The Surprisingly Tough Damsel, and The Overstated Evil Cattle Baron, all in the wilds of old Australia. Good Stuff!

Description
Tom Selleck gives the boldest performance of his career in this "new style, revisionist western with the panoramic scope of a movie epic" (Los Angeles Times). Fierce gunfights, forbidding landscapes, breakneck chasesall hallmarks of the classic westernare reinvented in this hard-pounding actioner that "revitalizes the genre" and comes out "a sure winner" (The Hollywood Reporter). Arriving in Australia with nothing more than a saddle and his prized six-foot Sharps rifle, American sharpshooter Matthew Quigley thinks he's been hired to kill off wild dogs. But when herealizes, instead, that his mission is murderto "eliminate" the Aborigines from a wealthy cattlebaron's landQuigley refuses and quickly turns from hunter to hunted. Forced to wage a savage waragainst his former employer, Quigley proves that no one gets the best of a steely-eyed American gunfighterno one, that is, except the mysterious beauty (Laura San Giacomo, sex, lies, and videotape) who rides by his side and captures his heart.
