Razorback

Razorback is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Foxtel Now, and in the US on YouTube TV, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 219 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Gregory Harrison's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Razorback is worth clearing space for. Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — Razorback earns every emotional beat it goes for. In the Australian outback a vicious wild boar kills and causes havoc to a small community. Gregory Harrison and Arkie Whiteley lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. It hit screens in 1984. The performances in Razorback do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Razorback is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Gregory Harrison anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.
