ask first of all are you Australian
One doesn't necessarily need to be to analyze a Movie.
acting looking a little b grade it was not very realistic at all
Hmmm...never thought bad acting can hurt National sentiment. Then America would have been the most embarrassed country of the World LOL!
how many aboriginals do you know that can shoot a man from 3 hundred plus metres in the dark with a hand gun when the man he shot had a high powered rifle with scope
I think you have 3 problems with this part.
First, the man was of aboriginal descent..so, in your opinion, somehow he should have been less accurate! But I beg to differ, he was a skilled tracker/hunter, had a keen sense of vision and steady,sharp hands. The film, in no way, hints that he was any less a marksman than the man with the scoped rifle.
Secondly, you believe that the target was away by more than 300 meters and no way he could've hit him in such poor lighting condition with a handgun.
Now, the distance was never 300+ meters! To give you an idea what 300m+ distance means :

Jimmy assessed the man's position on the rooftop early on using the shop-window

And finally, when he shot the man, there was a brief flash of lightening, which enabled him to make a clean shot.

While I agree that it was a difficult shot, I do beleive that it was not totally impossible.
