Aussie mockumentary The Magician hits the spot

The Magician

Director: Scott Ryan

Cast: Scott Ryan, Massimiliano Andrighetto, Ben Walker, Kane Mason

Cert: 15

The Magician is a mock documentary that trails a hitman in the murky underworld of Melbourne.

Director-star Ryan does a terrific job on both counts, right down to examining the morality (or lack thereof) of his character's job.

It's clever, rich in characters and well worth catching.

Star Rating: 4/5
