Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This as a really decent (sadly a bit short with only 13 episodes for each season in 1 and 2) and different show, particularly series 1 - and with the exception of the slightly irritating constant battle between the Government-run Rescue Special Ops and the private cowboys Life Blood that dominates series 2 and 3. Instead of the constant and boring American crime series filled mainly by endlessly repetitive CSU science, super-modern crime fighting instruments you never actually get to see in your average police station anywhere in the world, and an overexposure with serial killers that has got to the point of over'kill', this is about real people and because Rescue Special Ops covers all rescue work we get a multitude of what happens in the modern crime fighting, medical rescue and general world saving world plus the different and beautiful Australian countryside of New South Wales. But I have one question: did the Aussies cut the show after three seasons? Is that why Life Blood and Rescue Special Ops fright each other constantly for the best part of the second and third season and we get a big showdown in episode 11 of series 3 that more or less brings Life Blood down? Was that all? There's no information on the individual episodes unlike the ueber-details on all the American rubbish that gets churned out in Yankee-land on a daily basis. Could any Ozzie let us know whether I've seen the last 22nd episode in series 3 of this great show?

Too bad this won't happen until possibly 2012. The first two seasons production was only 13 episodes each. Season 3 was just announced and will yield 22 episodes. With 48 in the can maybe we'll see this in the U.S and U.K. Is shown on Channel 9 Australia. You can watch some episodes on You Tube though. It's worth watching even with the splitting of each episodes into 5 or 6 parts as is the custom with You Tube. This show is filmed in, and around Sydney. The program is produced by Southern Star Entertainment with the assistance of Screen Australia and the New South Wales Government. The high energy action drama series focuses on a team of experienced professional paramedics who specialize in unique rescue operations. The only recognizable one of the cast of stars to U.S. and U.K. viewers would be Gigi Edgely, (Chiana) of Farscape fame. Give it a go, you'll like the wonderful photography of outdoor down under.

This is a great show and series one has been consistently interesting (apart from all the officers ignoring correct protocols for emergency service personnel). Are Rescue Special Ops a branch of the police or the Ambulance service or who exactly? As I said great show but ... in the last episode, when a pedestrian is knocked down by a car the Rescue officers assess him and find that he has two broken wrists. Dean then wants to check the patient's level of consciousness so he says to him, 'Mate, squeeze my hands'. With two broken wrists?? Okay, maybe I'm just being picky. I do hope that the show has been recommissioned for next year. Despite all my criticisms above, I really did enjoy it!
