Occupation tells a story that is cut together across almost a years worth of action and tells the tale from the first invasion to the first major success of the war.
I enjoyed it, and a big thumbs up to the Australian film industry. The acting and direction is great.
The script covers many months of activity and reveals the personality of characters at quite a pace. The backstories are raced through so you only get a small background about them which needs to carry the characters personlaity behaviour that drives their actions through the movie and you don't quite get to feel immersed into the conflicts of characters as much as could have been the case.
I think this story line alone could have been turned into a successful TV series of at least 4 or more seasons. This would allow each character's backstory to grow and allow the audience to be captured by the potential depth of light and dark sides of each character. There is plenty of story line in between everything you see in the movie. As a TV series, I would have certainly watched it.
Good movie, that could be a great TV series.
