The Broken Shore is an Australian 2013 crime thriller / drama movie presented on DVD.
Joe Cashin (Don Hany: East West 101, Offspring) is a Homicide Detective transferred to the small Victorian coastal town of Port Monro where he grew up. When wealthy benefactor Charles Bourgoyne dies, Joe's investigation uncovers a cycle of lies, betrayal and systematic corruption in a community where tensions over race, class and politics are at boiling point.
Capturing the chilling action and laconic wit of Peter Temple's acclaimed The Broken Shore, this television adaptation filmed against the ruggest south-east Victorian coastline brings alive the novel's cast of complex characters as it slowly reveals the shocking face behind a community's respectable mask.
Also starring Claudia Karvan (The Time of Our Lives), Anthony Hayes (Animal Kingdom), Erik Thomson (Packed to the Rafters), Dan Wyllie (Puberty Blues), Tony Briggs (The Slap) and Wayne Blair (Redfern Now), The Broken Shore is a gripping, dark story infused with wit and humanity.
